trinket

'of little value' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'rent kit out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'rent'+'kit'='rentkit'
'rentkit' with letters rearranged gives 'TRINKET'.

'it's' is the link.
