Furnished Rental Inventory Checklist for Luxembourg Landlords
When it comes to furnished rentals in Luxembourg, what is inside the property matters as much as the property itself. A missing kitchen item, an uncomfortable mattress, or an undocumented piece of damage can lead to a lost booking, a negative review, or a deposit dispute.
This checklist helps landlords prepare the property consistently before every new tenancy. It is designed for first time furnished landlords, corporate rental hosts, and expatriate property owners managing Luxembourg properties remotely.
A basic furnished rental should meet legal, safety, hygiene, and habitability requirements. A corporate standard property should go further by providing comfort, convenience, reliable technology, and everything a professional tenant needs from the first day.
Use this checklist before arrival, during handover, after departure, and during annual property reviews.
How to Use This Checklist
A legally furnished property should contain suitable furniture and equipment for normal residential use. A corporate standard property should allow a tenant to move in without buying basic furniture, cookware, linen, internet equipment, or household supplies.
Document Every Item
Before each tenancy:
- Photograph every room from several angles.
- Photograph valuable items separately.
- Record stains, scratches, marks, and existing damage.
- Write down the quantity and condition of each item.
- Record appliance brands and serial numbers where useful.
- Ask the landlord, tenant, and management agency to approve the inventory.
Google Sheets can be used for smaller portfolios. Property management applications can help landlords managing several units. Review the inventory after every tenancy and complete a full audit once every year.

FAQs
What Must Be Included in a Furnished Rental in Luxembourg?
The property should be safe, habitable, and suitable for normal residential use. The included furniture and equipment should be clearly recorded in the lease and inventory.
For corporate accommodation, landlords should also provide complete furniture, kitchen equipment, storage, internet, linen, towels, appliances, and a practical workspace.
How Many Sets of Linen Should I Provide?
Provide at least two complete linen sets for every bed. This allows one set to be used while the other is being washed.
Do I Need to Provide a Washing Machine?
A washing machine is strongly expected in a furnished corporate rental. Tenants staying for several months usually consider laundry access essential.
What Is the Difference Between Furnished and Serviced Apartments?
A furnished apartment includes furniture and household equipment. A serviced apartment usually adds cleaning, linen replacement, utility management, maintenance support, and organised arrival assistance.
How Do I Document a Furnished Rental Inventory?
Create a written inventory supported by dated photographs. Record quantities, condition, meter readings, keys, and existing damage. The landlord and tenant should approve the document during arrival and departure.
