The Advantages Of Furnished Apartments

By Adriana Noton


There are several advantages to renting furnished apartments but to be fair there are also a couple of things that you need to be aware of prior to signing up to any agreement. The market is pretty evenly split between this type and the unfurnished variety so if you are looking for this then you should have lots to choose from no matter where you live.

The first thing you need to be aware of is how it alters your rent as it does tend to be higher when you go for this option. This is understandable as the owner has gone to the cost of adding furniture so they need to recoup that expenditure in any way possible.

An advantage is that you can move in right away and do not have to worry about buying things yourself and for people on a budget this certainly does help. It is also an advantage if you need somewhere quick and these are two reasons why people tend to go for this option.

You can often add your own pieces if you wish but do double check what it says in your agreement before you possibly end up wasting money. This is often limited to smaller items as all of the main pieces of furniture are already supplied and if you are paying rent for them then you may as well use them.

A disadvantage however is you are stuck with the furniture and it may not be to your normal taste and you then need to live with it but this does come down to whether or not you are the person that really bothers about this kind of thing. You do find that different landlords do this in a different way as some go for the cheap option whilst others try to buy pieces that helps it to blend in as much as possible.

Another disadvantage is that if something is damaged then of course you are going to have to pay to get it replaced. There is not the option of living with it until later on as there is probably going to be something in the agreement that states any damages must be replaced as soon as possible so read the small print before signing up.

This is why you need to go and visit them in person before agreeing to short term rentals as photographs online never really do it justice. By going to see it you can easily picture yourself living there and you also get to see the furniture and work out if it really is something you can manage to live with.

So furnished apartments have both their advantages and disadvantages but for a number of people it is the only way that they can end up with their own place especially when moving to a new area or moving out of home for the first time. You may be stuck with the furniture but if you plan to move on in a relatively short space of time then they are going to be an ideal option.
