<br/><br/> Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending and the sharing economy are transforming traditional systems<br/>by enabling individuals to share resources, access services affordably, and earn income<br/>through collaborative online platforms. Even with a number of existing platforms, renting<br/>educational resources from the perspective of college students has been a challenge for<br/>(1) there are no rental platforms that cater rental of school materials for a shorter<br/>duration, (2) trust issues due to lack of sense of community, and (3) financial challenges<br/>that limit the student in achieving academic success. With these challenges in mind, the<br/>researchers developed RenTUPeers, a peer-to-peer rental platform that caters the needs of<br/>the TUP-Manila students. The general objective of the study was to develop a web<br/>application system that mainly focuses on providing an intermediary platform for rental<br/>and buy-and-sell operations within the campus vicinity by incorporating the following<br/>features: item listing for rent and for sale and “looking for” posts management, online<br/>payment processing, transaction management, notification and communication tool. The<br/>researchers developed the system using Visual Studio Code with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap,<br/>JavaScript, and ReactJS for the front-end development, and NodeJS, Stripe, MySQL, and<br/>Socket.io for the backend integration. The testing was done to improve the system in<br/>terms of Functional Suitability and Reliability. 53 respondents participated in answering<br/>the evaluation form. The test results suggested that the researchers have successfully<br/>designed functionalities in line with the objectives. The evaluation results showed that the<br/>platform is highly acceptable with a grand weighted mean of 3.74, in terms of Functional<br/>Suitability, Portability, Performance Efficiency, Usability, Security, Compatibility,<br/>Reliability, and Maintainability. Overall, the researchers have developed a rental platform<br/>tailored for the students of TUP-Manila.
