What type of rental is right for you?
There are plenty of considerations to be had when it comes to choosing a rental apartment. To ensure your stay as comfortable and easy as it can be, it’s important to think about the type of rental that will suit your needs best.
One of the most important decisions you will make is whether or not your apartment is furnished. We’ve decided to break down the pros and cons of each type of apartment to help you make your decision.
Furnished Apartments
Furnished rentals should come with everything you need to live in them. Here are all of the pros and cons to consider when looking at furnished apartments for rent.
PROS
Easy to Move Into
Furnished apartments should be ready to move into. No need to unpack anything but your clothes and other personal items.
Travel Light
With a furnished rental, you won’t need to worry about booking a moving van or stuffing your car full of household items. Instead, you’ll probably just need one or two suitcases.
More Flexibility
Because of the ease of furnished rentals, you have the luxury of being flexible about travel plans and move-in dates. If you have a last-minute change of plans, you can rent a furnished apartment quickly and move in without too much hassle.
No Need to Spend Money On New Household Items
You will likely save money with a furnished rental. No need to purchase any additional household items, as they should be ready for you in the apartment.
CONS
Can Feel Like Someone Else’s Home
Depending on which rental you choose, furnished apartments might feel like you’ve moved into someone else’s home.
Can Come With Surprises
Unless you are careful, you may be surprised by what items are and are not included in the rental.
Can Be More Expensive
The monthly rental rate may be slightly higher for furnished apartments (though you will save money by not buying home items).
Unfurnished Apartments
As you have probably guessed, unfurnished apartments usually come with nothing but the walls and a few appliances. Here are a few pros and cons of choosing to rent an unfurnished apartment.
PROS
Freedom to Design the Rental Yourself
If you like having a carefully designed home, unfurnished apartments will provide you with a blank canvas.
Cheaper Rent
Compared to furnished rentals, unfurnished apartments tend to have cheaper monthly rental rates.
CONS
Requires Lots of Planning
In order to transport all of the furniture and household goods, you will likely need to plan well in advance and book a truck to help you move.
Not Wise for Short Term Rental Periods
Because of the complexities and hassle involved, unfurnished rentals are rarely wise for short term or temporary rental periods.
