Renting Furnished Apartment

[Jacob Lapp]

Hey everyone!

Have been claiming residency in one unit at my triplex for coming up on a year in August.

My plan is to start renting our unit as soon as the year of residency is over. My girlfriend and I had a lot of fun finding furniture at a thrift shop my mom works at an incredible discount.

Our apartment is beautiful and we spent less than $300 on furnishing the whole place.

I'm weighing the pros and cons of renting it furnished or not. Especially if I can get an extra $150-300 a month for it being furnished.

My questions;

If you rent a furnished apartment. Are you the landlord responsible for replacing broken furniture? Or would the tenant owe money for breaking my furniture?

Is this legal? In my real estate class I remember learning that selling a furnished house is illegal in PA. Is this the same with rentals?

Thanks in advance!
