Should my rental be furnished or not?

I'm looking at vacant multi-family rental properties to invest in. I plan to do a little refurb and then get the tenants in. Is it better to have the places furnished or not? I'm afraid that if I don't furnish them, the newly painted walls/floors could get damaged when new tenants move their own big furniture items in ! Thus, was wondering if it might be better to offer fully furnished units where I furnish them nicely but cheaply ! Any thoughts? Or do any landlords even include something in the lease that says the tenant most use licensed movers to move their big furniture items so that there's less of a chance of damage during move in/out?
