Potential renters want apartment furnished
I plan on moving out, and will rent my current home (New York). Some renters liked my furnishing, and asked if i can leave some furniture behind. I have never dealt with renting a furnished rental property. For example, should I increase the rent? Should I increase the security deposit? What language should I add to the rider? What happens when they leave the rental? How is normal wear-and-tear determined?
Thanks in advance!

You never said what you plan on doing with the furniture. Makes a big difference. If you leave it are you now without furniture at your new place? Were you going to sell / donate / trash it?
It sounds like the furniture isn't that important to you. It might just be easiest for you to sell it to them.
