What To Know About Renting A Furnished Apartment

When my youngest child moved out, I was left living in a large home by myself. Weekend visits from the grandchildren only filled the space part of the time. The home became more of a burden as each day passed. It was not until I was working with my real estate agent to sell my home and find a smaller home did I realize that there were so many others in the same position. I created this blog to help other empty nesters explore their options for downsizing and to provide guidance on finding a new home that fits in more with their lifestyle.

Do you need a place to stay for a short amount of time, such as a temporary assignment for work? If so, you may be wondering how you are going to do it. Renting a furnished apartment can be a great way to set up a practical living arrangement that will meet your needs. Here is what you should know before you decide to rent a furnished apartment.

Furnished Apartments Have All Your Essentials

The nice thing about renting a furnished apartment is that they are going to have everything you need to move in and be settled immediately. That is because they typically have more than just a couch and a bed. Furnished apartments also come with appliances, utensils, cookware, and things of that nature. These are the essential items that you need, and would otherwise have to take with you. It's essentially a turnkey scenario for your living arrangement.

Furnished Apartments Make Moving In And Out Easy

The first benefit that you'll notice is how easy it is to move into a furnished apartment. There is no need to hire movers or rent a moving truck. The only things that you need to take with you are the personal items that you need. This means that you can likely pack everything you need into your vehicle, make a single trip, and be moved into the apartment incredibly fast. 

Moving out is just as easy. When your time in the area has ended, you will save money and time by needing to pack up as little as possible. You can focus on the reason why you are living in the apartment, rather than having to pack and unpack in that short window of time. 

Furnished Apartments May Require A Larger Security Deposit

You may be used to providing a security deposit for an apartment that is typically around the cost of a single month of rent. With a furnished apartment, the landlord might request more than what you are used to providing. This is because they want to make sure that all their furniture is in the same condition that it was provided in, and be able to receive payment for things that you may have damaged during your stay. The good news is that you'll get your security deposit back if you take good care of the place and treat the furniture and appliances as if they are your own.
