In the this edition of Ask the Rental Professional, Minot Regional Apartment Manager Justin Hammer touches on furnished apartments.

Q:  Does IRET Properties have any rental apartments that are furnished?  Is so, what is included in the furnished rental?

A: Currently, we do not have any furnished units in Minot. However, we are considering furnishing a few apartments at a couple of our properties in Minot and offer furnished apartments in many of the other regions we operate within. You can view a full list of our furnished apartments here.

When we furnish an apartment, we look to fill whatever our customer’s needs may be. Everything from furniture, bath supplies, and bedding to cooking utensils, dinnerware, and internet can be provided in your apartment. Everything you may need to turn the key and live in your apartment can be provided in a furnished rental.

How to Make That Small Space Have Big Design

Perhaps you’re just about to move into your first apartment rental, or are beginning again and simply don’t know where to start when it comes to decorating your new apartment home. You don’t have to blow your budget to make your rental, your home. Check with your Community Manager first, but here are some easy and inexpensive ways to make your apartment the home you knew it could be.

What feeling are you going for?

Let’s face it, some apartments tend to be smaller spaces, but that means they lend themselves perfectly to using a single vibe throughout the apartment. Using a single theme across your space also makes your job easier and cheaper, too. Start with the mood you want your apartment to exude: if a cozy, relaxing space is your style, go with neutral colors or throw in a splash of cool colors as your design base. If your bubbling personality is straining to get out, try bright colors that reflect your cheerful moods.
