I find furnished rentals amusing. How many people need an apartment to be furnished such that the renter's convenience coincides with the owner's convenience of not having to store his belongings? There are surely some but how big is the maret? front_porch, do you have an opinion on that?

i know someone who would definitely be interested if the price is right. feel free to post your contact info.

As someone who owns and rents out a small 1br furnished apartment in the west 70s, I would have to say there is a lot of interest in furnished apartments. There seem to be a lot of people here in New York for only 3-8 months and are looking for a shorter-term stays without having to worry about getting furniture.

The super in the building where my apartment is hates move ins and is not nice about it, which is what gave me the idea to rent it furnished (no need to use the maintenance elevator) and by offering it for a shorter period than a year, I actually can get about 5-10% more a month then the going rate. When I post it on CL, I usually get 10 people within the first day who come to look at it and 3-4 who want it.

I have been doing this for the past few years and although it's a hassle sometimes, so far it seems to be working.

good perspective west80s.

west8s, the problem is that short term rentals are not accepted by 99% of the buildings in NYC (unless it is a temporary sublet). A neighbor or the doorman can talk to the board about people coming and going and you are screwed. In Europe or Latam, an apt is yours, you can do whatever you want with it, but unfortunately for temporary renters and landlords, renting your place short term in NYC is getting more and more difficult to do, as condos are setting stiffer rules (min 1 yr) for rentals. Even if you own a house, the neighbors can complain that you are technically running it as a hotel without a license...

When I went to school in Atlanta, I rented furniture for my apartment. I don't think that I would want to rent furniture now, but it was a good idea for students in that they delivered (at the start of the school year) and then picked up the furniture in May/June. It's difficult and expensive to move furniture across the country while you're in school. It's much easier to just buy or bring linens, dishes, etc. West80s has a good idea to rent short term rentals already furnished.
