Furnished or Unfurnished Rental?

The better option depends on how long you expect to stay, what you already own and how much you want to spend moving in.

A furnished unit can suit you when

You want to move quickly, do not own furniture or expect the tenancy to be relatively short. Confirm exactly what furniture and appliances are included.

An unfurnished unit can suit you when

You already own furniture, expect to stay longer or prefer to control what goes into the home. Factor moving and furnishing costs into the decision.

Check responsibility for supplied items

If the landlord supplies appliances or furniture, understand how damage, ordinary wear and repairs will be handled.
