Yes when possible
Many places are bedrooms only (sort of - often only bed and desk - some add in chair, dress, night stand, etc.)
Some offer living room furnished too
Stay away from providing personal items (dishes, etc.) as the cost / time to administer / wear and tear do not allow it to be economical (only works in certain rare niche markets, like cottage rentals, executive suites in downtown large cities, etc.)
My ideal would be:
Bedroom - Bed frame, boxpring, mattress - get them sealed with bed bug protector
Living room - couch, tv hung to wall properly, small end table - where size of unit allows dinning table, chairs, extra couch or seat, etc. -
Nothing else beyond that
Not just the unit, but the building (stairwells, entryways, etc. get bashed from furniture move in / outs) show better over time from it + little extra expenses like a tenants moving truck driving into the building / downspouts / eaves / siding / etc.l and you not being able to find out which unit damage is from is reduced as they do not often need to bring a moving truck. Moving = A suit case of clothes and computer in car
[quote user=MrHamilton]Hey Adam, when you mean furnished do you mean common areas and bedrooms?
