The log house which my wife wound up with after her mother died - and
into which we have been pouring money, lo, these many months - is now
ready to sell or rent. Given the market, it is most likely to be
rented. I have only rented two unfurnished apartments in my life and
that was years ago.
The first was totally bare...no stove, no fridge, no drapes, no
nothing.
The second had drapes - rather nice ones - and a stove but no fridge.

Having no experience as either a renter or landlord, I would
appreciate knowing what you would expect if you were looking to rent
an unfurnished house.

Drapes?
Stove?
Microwave?
Dishwasher?
Fridge?
Washer & dryer?
Washer and dryer hookups only?
Anything else?

I'd also appreciate knowing if you would expect to do any of these
yourself. Change air filters? Buy them?
Maintain salt level in water softener? Buy the salt?
Cut the grass?
What other maintenance or repair?

Thanks for your time

You have an opportunity to multiply your revenue. First, offer the place for
rent empty.

Second, for an additional sum, offer to provide essential appliances (stove,
fridge).

For an even greater additional amount, provide basic furniture (sofa, bed,
etc.).

Lastly, a small additional sum will get maintenance for the tenant (mowing,
a/c filter replacement, salt replenished, whatever).
