If you are one of the millions of people who need to move frequently, perhaps looking at furnished apartments might be your best bet! Unfortunately, many people tend to shy away from these because they do tend to cost considerably more than regular apartments, however, in many cases it's actually much more affordable choice.
Why choose a furnished apartment? The most common reason is that perhaps you are moving to a new city and for some reason chose not to bring your furniture. Maybe it was old, it was too expensive to move, or you really thought you could afford all new. Whatever the reason, many people find it much easier to get a furnished place.
Selecting an apartment that allows you to rent your furnishings is a blessing. Rather than accepting the usual and customary pretty boring couch and dining set, you can choose anything that fits into your budget. You can also rent an entire household of goods - linens, artwork, appliances, pots and pans, cappuccino makers, plasma TVs, computers, rugs - you name it. Need a new style every few months? No problem. You can even do a short term rental, or longer term if needed.
Choosing this type of apartment means you could possibly have two separate contracts, which is ideally what you should have. Having your own contract for the furniture is terrific because you can choose what you want, make changes every so often (Want a new couch? Just ask!), and never need to watch your furniture get old and warn out - while you're still paying for it!
It's no different than leasing a car - you pay for the time you have the item. It doesn't get old, and you can keep turning it in almost whenever you want. Actually, with furniture, by the time you pay for it, it's time for new stuff, right? You might as well just pick out what you like and rent it.
Many single business executives find it easier to own nothing except their personal items like clothes or perhaps family photos, etc., and when it comes time for that next transfer they can pack everything in a day, have it shipped, and move in day is a snap. No mountains of boxes to go through. AND new furniture!
Even though furnished units are an attractive option, there are some rental situations to stay clear of. Some places advertise "furnished apts." But their target market is not the person we just talked about, it's a low income family who can't afford anything at all and probably never had any furniture. These rentals give them the opportunity to have a halfway decent place to live if their only alternative would be an empty place with a mattress on the floor and a box for a kitchen table. If you plan on doing some internet research or phone calling to plan your move, just be very careful about these places, unless of course this is exactly what you're looking for. Just keep in mind the furniture in these places is probably worn out and dirty.
If you are looking into apartments in new areas, and doing it online, you will probably be able to see photos of some rental units with samples of the furniture available. If you like what you see, ask if they can send you catalogs of what items you can choose from so you can plan well ahead. Also check to see when the furniture will be delivered; it's not always the day you move in. - 31515
