You have decided to make a rental investment and opted for the furnished rental lease following our comparison? Great news, welcome to the LMNP (Furnished Non-Professional Rental) club.

Now, it's time to get to work to furnish everything before renting it out! We won't leave you in the wild: we will meticulously help you create the shopping list.

The furniture to be provided mandatory 🛒

If it is conveyed to you in a few words, and in the form of a checklist for more practicality, we did not invent it: it is actually a decree from 2015 that established it once and for all, putting an end to the legal ambiguity on the matter. The following are therefore mandatory:

In the bedroom

bed or sofa bed, with duvet or blanket;
shutters or blackout curtains

In the kitchen

table and chairs;
cooking hobs;
oven and/or microwave;
refrigerator, with freezer compartment or freezer;
dinnerware and utensils in sufficient quantity.

Common facilities

storage;
lighting;
cleaning supplies corresponding to the characteristics of the accommodation (e.g., vacuum cleaner is essential if there is carpet).

Constraints and freedoms 🪞

Furnish all rooms

This is a constraint to take seriously, otherwise your LMNP may be reclassified as an empty rental. Therefore, be sure to distribute your furnishings harmoniously throughout the entire property.

Be exhaustive

Moreover, if your LMNP has insufficient furnishings, your tenant can demand that you complete the equipment according to their needs, first amicably, then by registered mail, and finally by involving the departmental conciliation commission if nothing has been done within 2 months following receipt of the registered letter. Conclusion: don't forget anything!

Complete as you see fit

Good to know: aside from the list of mandatory furnishings that you need to ensure, maintain, or renew, you can do as you please in terms of additional furnishings, decoration, and various accessories. So, inspired?
