1st snowbird winter in AZ--Renting home furnished

Preparing for our first winter in AZ. Renting home fully furnished for 6 to 9 months. Anyone rented their home furnished? What did you store? Pictures left on walls? Knick Knacks left on shelves? Working hard preparing and purging lots of stuff. Any advice welcome.

  • We have a long term renter (like a son) living in attached apartment and he will be overseeing the house for us. Yes, we will have a very good lease agreement. We have prepared an attached storage shed that is dry and sturdy to store our stuff. Advertised it as fully furnished with dishes, bedding, towels, etc. Just wasn't sure about decorative items.

    we haven't done that nor would we consider doing that but if we did we'd remove anything that we couldn't replace...photos, heirlooms, special electronics and so forth. good luck. do you have a local property manager to look in on the property every month? have a clearly written lease agreement?
