Successful United States national tours, the "Angel Tour" and the "Benny Tour", launched in the 1990s. Later, the non-[[Actors' Equity|Equity]] tour started its run. There was also a Canadian tour (often referred to as the "Collins Tour").

The Angel tour began in November 1996 at the [[Shubert Theatre (Boston)|Shubert Theatre]] in Boston, where it ran for approximately six months.<ref>{{cite web | last1=Lefkowitz | first1=David | last2=Glaser | first2=Blair | last3=Viagas | first3=Viagas | title=Boston RENT:Extension, Convention, Improved Aural Dimension | website=Playbill | date=December 16, 1996 | url=https://playbill.com/article/boston-rent-extension-convention-improved-aural-dimension-com-69066 | access-date=August 19, 2022 | archive-date=August 19, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220819230201/https://playbill.com/article/boston-rent-extension-convention-improved-aural-dimension-com-69066 | url-status=live }}</ref> Anthony Rapp joined the cast for the Chicago run, and Daphne Rubin-Vega joined for the Los Angeles run.

The Benny Tour began in July 1997 in San Diego, California, at the LaJolla Playhouse. Michael Grief, the original director of the Broadway show was also the artistic director of the LaJolla Playhouse and was instrumental in arranging for the Benny tour to begin in the smaller city of San Diego rather than Los Angeles, California. It originally featured [[Neil Patrick Harris]] as Mark Cohen in his first musical theatre role. The Benny tour generally played shorter stops and often-smaller markets than the Angel Tour did. Other cast members included [[Wilson Cruz]] and d'Monroe.

Tours ran each season from 2005 to 2008. Cast members throughout the run included [[Aaron Tveit]], Ava Gaudet, [[Declan Bennett]], [[Rebecca Naomi Jones]], [[Constantine Maroulis]], Dan Rosenbaum, [[Heinz Winckler]], [[Anwar Robinson]], Christine Dwyer, [[Caissie Levy]] and [[Karen Olivo]]. In 2009, a national tour starring Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp, reprising their original Broadway roles, launched in Cleveland, Ohio. Original Broadway Cast member Gwen Stewart also appeared, alongside [[Michael McElroy (actor)|Michael McElroy]] as Collins, The tour ended on February 7, 2010, in Sacramento, California.<ref>Jones, Kenneth.[http://www.playbill.com/news/article/136616-Cest-La-Vie-Rent-Tour-With-Pascal-Rapp-and-Stewart-Shutters-Feb-7 "C'est La Vie: Rent Tour, With Pascal, Rapp and Stewart, Shutters Feb. 7"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100211142443/http://www.playbill.com/news/article/136616-Cest-La-Vie-Rent-Tour-With-Pascal-Rapp-and-Stewart-Shutters-Feb-7 |date=February 11, 2010 }}, playbill.com, February 7, 2010</ref> A 20th anniversary non-Equity touring production began in Bloomington, Indiana on September 12, 2016,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.playbill.com/article/dates-and-cities-announced-for-rent-39-s-20th-anniversary-tour|title=Dates and Cities Announced for Rent's 20th Anniversary Tour. {{!}} Playbill|website=Playbill|language=en|access-date=April 28, 2017|archive-date=May 14, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170514230412/http://www.playbill.com/article/dates-and-cities-announced-for-rent-39-s-20th-anniversary-tour|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.playbill.com/article/how-will-the-rent-tour-be-different-from-what-you-know|title=How Will the Rent Tour Be Different From What You Know?|work=[[Playbill]]|date=September 11, 2016|access-date=May 17, 2019|archive-date=May 17, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190517012522/http://www.playbill.com/article/how-will-the-rent-tour-be-different-from-what-you-know|url-status=live}}</ref> and ran through March 1, 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.playbill.com/article/current-and-upcoming-national-tours|work=[[Playbill]]|title=Current and Upcoming National Tours|date=May 13, 2019|access-date=May 17, 2019|archive-date=May 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190530082750/http://www.playbill.com/article/current-and-upcoming-national-tours|url-status=live}}</ref> A 25th anniversary non-Equity tour kicked off on September 30, 2021, at the Carson Center in Paducah, Kentucky.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/kentucky-news/lets-get-this-show-on-the-road-rent-comes-to-paducah/article_c87c4088-1d87-11ec-bebb-2bf68cbc2fa7.html|title=Let's get this show on the road: Rent comes to Paducah|work=WPSD Local 6|date=September 24, 2021|access-date=October 25, 2021|archive-date=October 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211025160837/https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/kentucky-news/lets-get-this-show-on-the-road-rent-comes-to-paducah/article_c87c4088-1d87-11ec-bebb-2bf68cbc2fa7.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
