There are many reasons to choose finding a furnished apartment. Sure, they cost more, but sometimes it’s actually more cost effective than the more expensive alternatives.

A common scenario is the business person who has never quite settled down. He is transferred almost annually and the stress of packing a huge household is not worth the effort. He found out early on that it’s easier to pack a few suitcases and simply move into his new furnished quarters, unencumbered with hundreds of boxes that most probably will never be unpacked anyway.

Other times it’s because they never bought furniture at all and it’s nice to have everything brand new every time they move. It’s just easier to pack up your personal belongings only, and forget the stress of hiring large interstate moving companies. Even that can get expensive! You can do a short term rental, or even a longer term.

Choosing this type of apartment means you could possibly have two separate contracts, which is ideally what you should have. Having your own contract for the furniture is terrific because you can choose what you want, make changes every so often (Want a new couch? Just ask!), and never need to watch your furniture get old and warn out – while you’re still paying for it!

It’s no different than leasing a car – you pay for the time you have the item. It doesn’t get old, and you can keep turning it in almost whenever you want. Actually, with furniture, by the time you pay for it, it’s time for new stuff, right? You might as well just pick out what you like and rent it.

This is the perfect way to redecorate every year, too, if this is what you like to do but otherwise couldn’t afford it. Who could? And it’s easy! Assuming you have your own contract with the rental people, you can look through catalogs, choose new items, and everything can be swapped out in a day.

Even though furnished units are an attractive option, there are some rental situations to stay clear of. Some places advertise “furnished apts.” But their target market is not the person we just talked about, it’s a low income family who can’t afford anything at all and probably never had any furniture. These rentals give them the opportunity to have a halfway decent place to live if their only alternative would be an empty place with a mattress on the floor and a box for a kitchen table. If you plan on doing some internet research or phone calling to plan your move, just be very careful about these places, unless of course this is exactly what you’re looking for. Just keep in mind the furniture in these places is probably worn out and dirty.

Also be aware of how the building, or the city, handles appliances. Some cities tend to provide stoves, refrigerators and even washers and dryers as part of the apartment rental – furnished or unfurnished. Other cities might provide the stove but you need to have everything else. Ask everyone you speak with on the phone exactly what appliances are standard and what you will need to arrange for on your own.
