Geraldine A.The short version
A furnished unit rents for more than the same unit empty, commonly 15% to 30% more per month, and higher for fully furnished, utilities-included mid-term stays. The premium isn't automatic, though. It tracks how much demand there is in your market, how good your furniture is, and how much hassle you take off the tenant's plate. Price it on those, not on a flat rule.
One note before the numbers: Furnished Unfurnished helps you reach tenants and set your own price. The lease and the payment happen directly between you and the renter. We don't take a cut of the rent.
What actually drives the premium
Three things move the number more than anything else. Location and demand come first. A unit near a hospital, a base, or a corporate hub draws mid-term renters who will pay for a place they can walk into and live in. Furniture quality comes second. A clean, well-staged unit justifies a higher number than a mix of hand-me-downs. What you bundle comes third. Rolling utilities, Wi-Fi, and cleaning into one monthly figure removes friction, and friction is what renters pay to avoid.
A simple way to set the price
Start from what comparable unfurnished units rent for in your area. Add the premium your furnishing and bundle can justify, somewhere in that 15% to 30% band for most markets. Then sanity-check it two ways: against furnished comps if you can find them, and against what a renter would pay for a month in a hotel or short-stay alternative. Mid-term renters are often comparing your place to a hotel, not to a bare apartment, which is why the ceiling is usually higher than landlords expect.
