So, you've got a 1bhk apartment sitting there, empty, waiting to do something meaningful with its life (and yours). You may be wondering: "Should I rent it out as is? Should I throw in a couple of chairs and hope for the best?" Or you're already renting it out, but the returns are... meh.

Here's the deal: when it comes to renting a 1 BHK, furnishing it correctly can make all the difference between barely breaking even and consistently earning a premium monthly rent.


Why You Shouldn't Leave Your 1 BHK Bare

Imagine this: a tenant walks into your empty flat. There's an echo in the living room, the kitchen looks like it's waiting for a fridge that never arrived, and the bedroom? Just four walls and a ceiling fan.

Now picture this: the same flat, but with a cosy sofa, a TV and TV unit, a dining table, a comfy bed with side tables, and a wardrobe that doesn't look like it's from 1984. There's even a washing machine humming softly in the utility area and a fridge.

Guess which one rents faster?

And for more.

A well-furnished 1 BHK can fetch up to 20% more rent. That's not pocket change that's you earning extra money each month without lifting a finger after the setup.


What to Include in a Fully Furnished 1 BHK

Let's get real: today's tenants want homes that are plug-and-play. They're not interested in dragging furniture upstairs or figuring out if that second-hand microwave still works.

Here's what they love walking into:

  • Living Room: A lovely sofa (nothing too fancy), a coffee table, maybe a simple TV unit and a TV.

  • Bedroom: A bedroom with a bed and a good mattress, two side tables, and a wardrobe.

  • Dining Area: Depending on the space, a 2- or 4-seater dining table.

  • Kitchen/Utility: A refrigerator, a microwave, and a washing machine are must-haves.

  • Lighting & Curtains: Warm lighting, ceiling fans, and decent curtains complete the look.

You don't need luxury. You need to be functional, clean, and welcoming.


But Furnishing Sounds Exhausting... Right?

Totally. You'd have to:

  • Visit furniture shops

  • Compare prices endlessly

  • Wait for deliveries

  • Find reliable carpenters

  • Be home for installations

  • Deal with returns or replacements if something's wrong

It sounds like a second job you didn't sign up for. But what if someone took care of everything?


That's Where Guarented Homes Come In

At Guarented Homes, we help property owners like you turn their empty flats into income-generating, fully furnished rental homes with zero stress and zero upfront cost.

Yup. You don't pay for furnishing. Tenants do.

Here's how we pull off this magic trick:

Step 1: Agreement Signing

We will sign a simple Mou with you. There is no fine print, and there are no weird conditions. You hand us the keys, and we get to work.

Step 2: Furnishing in 5-7 Days

Our design team outfits your home with our premium-quality furniture and appliances. Everything's placed, arranged, styled, and ready.

Step 3: Marketing & Listings

We click pro-level photos and list your flat on all major rental platforms. We know what works. We've done this hundreds of times.

Step 4: Tenant Management

We handle everything from showing the flat to tenants to collecting documents, signing agreements, and even collecting rent.

Step 5: Hassle-Free Living for Tenants

They just walk in with their suitcases, and everything else is already there. This ease makes your flat way more attractive than the unfurnished one next door.

Step 6: Quick Maintenance & Repairs

Dripping taps or flickering lights? Our handyman squad can fix them within 72 hours. You don't get the call—we do.

Step 7: Post-Tenancy Wrap-up

Once tenants leave, we clean, make minor fixes, and prepare the home for the next one, keeping your flat in shape.

All of this is at zero cost to you. We recover furnishing charges by charging the tenant a small rent for our furniture. Win-win!


Real Talk: Numbers That Make Sense

Let's say you currently rent your 1 BHK for ₹18,000 unfurnished. That place could go for ₹30,000 with the right furnishing.

Once the flat is rented out for 30,000 Rs, Guarented will take a small cut of the profits towards furniture and appliances rentals (paid by tenants) , and rest you will take home. 


Who This Works Best For:

  • NRIs who want passive income from a home in India

  • Busy professionals who don't want to deal with tenant calls

  • First-time landlords testing the rental market

  • Anyone who hates the idea of chasing carpenters and delivery guys


Ready to Let Your 1 BHK Work for You?

You invested in that flat for a reason. Let's make sure it starts working just as hard as you do.

Furnish it smart, let Guarented Homes take care of everything, and start enjoying the kind of rent that feels like a reward.


FAQs

Q1. Do I have to pay anything upfront to get started? 

No, not a rupee. We invest in the furniture, and the tenant pays rent for using it.


Q2. What happens if furniture breaks or something stops working? 

We replace or repair it at our cost. You won't need to lift a finger.


Q3. Will I still earn more after the furniture rent is deducted? 

Yes. Landlords typically earn 10-15% more even after the deduction.


Q4. Can I choose the kind of furniture I want? 

We use stylish, modern furniture from our catalogue that fits your space well but yes, we take your preferences into account.


Q5. What if the flat is vacant? Will I owe anything? 

No. We only earn when the property is occupied. There's no cost to you if it's vacant.
