Renting With Furniture or Ammenities Included

[Jeff N.]

When renting in a college town you see a lot more rentals with furniture. They typically rent for a slight premium ($50-$100/month) to empty rentals.

I have considered staging my rentals with basic furniture that are geared to students, but I also feel you may have a higher turnover rate. If a tenant has no major furniture interest in the property I feel it may be easier for them to walk away at lease expiration to another unit, rather than staying in place.

Any input on including amenities with your rentals?
