What To Do with The Furnitures When Renting A House?

[Mike Toole]

Hi,

I'm planning to rent out my house for the first time and having a lot of questions. It's a single family house with 3 bds and 2.5 baths. I'm moving to a much smaller unit (either a studio or a 1 bd condo)

I haven't started listing my house yet, but I want to know if I should keep my furnitures until I found a renter (given the renter has his/her furnitures), or I should start emptying the house before listing.

If anyone has their experiences regarding dealing with the furnitures please feel free to share with me!
