In short: An unfurnished rental normally comes with fixtures such as kitchen units, a cooker or hob, flooring, light fittings and often curtains or blinds. Fridges and washing machines vary, so check the listing and inventory. Whatever the furnishing, landlords must provide working heating and hot water, smoke alarms on every storey, carbon monoxide alarms where needed, safe gas and electrical installations, and a home free of serious hazards. Agree in writing who repairs any appliances supplied.
