Context, tips & common mistakes

'Furnished', 'part-furnished' and 'unfurnished' have no fixed legal definitions — the words are marketing, and the inventory is the truth. Typically furnished means beds, sofas, wardrobes, white goods and often small appliances; part-furnished means some subset; unfurnished usually still includes carpets, curtains and frequently the white goods — but 'usually' is doing heavy lifting, so get the actual list in writing before signing, and ask directly whether specific items stay.

Details that matter later: upholstered furniture in rentals must carry fire-safety labels (furniture without them should not be there), broken supplied furniture is the landlord's to repair unless you damaged it, and you generally cannot dispose of their furniture without consent — store the horrible armchair, do not skip it. Students and short-stayers usually want furnished; families importing a household want unfurnished and should not pay furnished-level rents for a sofa they will bin.
