When it's for other educational purposes and organizations we always just loan items. The hope being that others will loan to us when we are in need as well. We have loaned full sets, furniture, costumes, props, and all kinds of other items. Here is the text of a borrowing agreement we ask groups to sign:
Arnold High School Theatre Borrowing Agreement

If the item(s) can be cleaned (such as costumes) it will be appropriately cleaned prior to return including specialized cleaning if necessary (i.e. dry cleaning or hand washing) per instructions provided to me.

Subject: How much do you charge for rent?
Hello,
I've had a request from a neighboring school to rent the bench we used in "Almost, Maine". What is a fair price to charge? First time I've ever been asked this.
Thanks!
