Frequently Asked Questions

Most fully furnished rentals include living room furniture (sofa set, coffee table), dining set, bedroom furniture (wardrobes included), kitchen appliances (refrigerator and often a cooker), curtains, and basic lighting fixtures. Some higher-end units may include electronics like TVs.

Landlords typically require a security deposit equivalent to one or two months' rent for furnished properties. This is slightly higher than unfurnished units due to the included furnishings. The deposit is refundable at lease end minus any damages.

About 30% of furnished rentals include water bills in the rent price. Electricity is almost always paid separately by tenants through prepaid meters. Always confirm what's included before signing the lease agreement.

Most landlords prefer minimum six-month contracts for furnished properties due to the higher initial setup costs. Some may offer three-month leases at a premium (10-15% higher monthly rate). Corporate lets often have more flexible terms.

While you cannot remove existing furniture (it's inventoried), many landlords will accommodate reasonable requests to add specific items before move-in. Any changes during tenancy require written approval to avoid deposit deductions.
