The contract should name the principal (usually the landlord). Managers should say whether they buy as agent or as principal.

Can I cancel?

See the cancellation notice. After you accept a quote and pay any invoice or payment link we send, cancellation follows that notice and the terms on the invoice.

Do you take payment on this site?

No direct pack purchase on this site. Enquire with photos and room dimensions. We email a sample render and a private quote. Payment is by invoice or a private payment link after you accept. Quote and contact forms do not charge a card.

Are the website photos what my unit will look like?

No. Those images are examples only. Designs may vary. After you send photos of the property, we send the actual room design privately. We do not advertise a guaranteed look or a completed job we have not done.

Do you use my photos in marketing?

Job file photos for safety and condition, yes. Marketing use needs your permission. We will not invent testimonials.

Appliances?

Not in the standard packs. Quoted separately if needed.

You own it. Packs are sold as owned furniture for the landlord (or the principal named on the contract), not a rental subscription. See the packages page for Studio to 3 bed coverage. Pricing after survey.

In what order should I furnish a unit?

Beds and bedroom storage first, then living room seating, then dining and a small work spot, then kitchen and bathroom basics, then a little dressing. We walk through that order in what to furnish first in a Tampa 30 day rental. Your real layout is worked out privately from photos of the rooms.

What photos do you need before a quote?

Wide shots of each empty room, doorways, windows, and any tight stairs or lifts. Room dimensions (length, width, and ceiling height where you know them) and a floor plan or rough measurements help. We email a sample render of your rooms with furniture we can order. Designs on this site are examples only.

Should I furnish before listing, or wait for a tenant?

For 30 plus day stays, furnish first when you can. Empty rooms lose mid term tenants who need to move in quickly. We cover that choice in should you furnish a Tampa rental before the tenant signs. Enquire with photos and room dimensions for a sample render quote.

Should I own the furniture or keep leasing it?

For a unit you plan to keep in the 30 plus day furnished lane, owning usually beats a lease loop. You pay once, the pieces stay with the property, and you are not restarting rent on sofas every assignment. We unpack that choice in should a Tampa landlord own the furniture or keep leasing it. Enquire for a quote.

How many void days does an empty Tampa mid term unit really cost?

Every empty week is rent you do not collect, plus listing and admin time. For 30 plus day demand, a coherent owned pack often pays for itself faster than waiting on bare rooms.
