Things to Consider
-
Typical cost of rental (per month):
- $100 - $250+
- Some companies will allow you to split the cost with your roommates.
-
Different companies will have different rental contracts
- Services provided may differ as well, so consider all your options!
-
How much furniture do you REALLY need?
- Be realistic – do you really need two couches and two tables just for three months?
-
If you damage or dirty rental furniture in any way, there will be severe financial consequences.
- Always protect the furniture! For example, consider getting a cover for the couch so nothing will dirty the actual couch.
Benefits of Renting Furniture
-
Renting furniture can be a cost effective option for most temporary living situations.
- For example, if your program is only for one session or if you plan to live in the apartment only for a few months before moving to a permanent location.
- Some companies also have the option for you to buy the items and keep them permanently.
-
Many furniture rental services will deliver and set up the furniture for you.
- Once you are finished, they will also pick them up.
- Be sure to check if there are delivery fees!
- Some companies offer student discounts – be sure to ask if it is not listed on their site!
- Some companies even offer houseware items to rent, such as kitchen and bathroom items.
