Landlords who have bought a property to rent and are looking to offer rooms to rent individually in a houseshare will need to think about providing furniture for their tenants. It is a good idea to consider the cost and timing implications as soon as the refurbishment programme is underway as delays in obtaining suitable furniture can result in unnecessary void periods. Tenants looking for rooms to rent in a houseshare will generally expect at least some basic furniture in the room.

Tenants will have different expectations of what should be provided but as a minimum each room to rent should at least contain the following: bed with mattress, a wardrobe, chest of drawers, a desk with chair. In addition, landlords can provide additional furniture such as shelves, bedside tables, CD racks, additional chairs or drawers. It is usually best to limit the amount of furniture to a sensible minimum as additional items will not only increase the initial purchase cost but maintaining and replacing these will be time consuming and create additional expenses.
