Properties for Rent: Furnishes or unfurnished

Both types of apartments are available although furnishes houses are relatively difficult to be found on the rental market. Unfurnished in practical terms means no appliances and curtains, etc.

It is up to the negotiations between the owner and/or previous tenant over what to do with the furniture left behind. Usually these things are incorporated in the price of the apartment. Any understandings upon these should be put in writing.
