Some furniture rental packages have a minimum of at least a 1-month rental fee, but clients can change and negotiate this according to the client’s needs. For a 1-year contract, just like apartment rentals, you will be paying a security deposit and pay monthly rent(you can also pay it in full).
Delivery
For deliveries, it would usually take an average of about seven to fourteen days to be delivered to your home. This is to make sure that the furniture pieces are perfectly intact, clean, and correct. They also make sure that your requests are met before they send it out for delivery.
Notes
- You can request a change in some items if you want to change the appearance of your home into a different theme.
- If you wish to extend your lease period, you can contact the company and ask for an extension before your lease ends.
- Most furniture/equipment rental companies can provide catalogs or photos of staged rooms to showcase the wide variety of furniture and equipment clients can rent out during their stay.
If you are planning to leave the apartment at the end of the lease to move elsewhere, you can inform the furniture rental company and schedule ahead of time to pick their items up. They will have a thorough inspection before returning the furniture.
