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

First thing, check the law.

Good idea.

Generally (but YMMV) in the US you can't
rent without a certificate of occupancy and that normally specifies a
working kitchen.

No, a 'fridge is not usually necessary to get a CO. Stove, yes.

There may be other requirements in your locality
specific to rentals.

Yes.

None of this CO business in Kansas nor missouri. not familiar with the
rest. sounds like bs.
