Unlocking the Comparative Advantages: Unfurnished vs. Furnished Rentals

Both options offer advantages and disadvantages

Furnished rental :

• the lease duration is of 1 year making it more flexible. It is therefore possible to recover your property each year instead of 3 for unfurnished apartments
• because of high demand furnished rental is better adapted to small and medium size apartments
• is more tax efficient than for unfurnished apartments

Unfurnished rental :

• enables to better forecast rental income because tenant turnover is slower than for furnished apartments
• is better adapted to larger size apartments (3+ bedrooms) usually preferred unfurnished
• has lower management and maintenance expenses (no furniture, lower maintenance costs)

This step often takes longer than anticipated (placing orders, receiving packages in installments, dealing with delivery delays and stock shortages, organizing furniture assembly, etc.).
