Unfurnished units come with none of the movable fittings — no wardrobes, no appliances, sometimes not even light fixtures beyond the basics. Semi-furnished typically includes fixed elements like wardrobes, modular kitchen cabinets and sometimes a geyser or fans, but not furniture or major appliances. Fully furnished units include furniture and appliances ready for immediate use.
Since these terms are not strictly standardised, always ask for a specific inventory list of what is included before agreeing on rent, rather than relying on the general label alone.
Matching furnishing status to your own situation — whether you own furniture already or are moving with minimal belongings — can meaningfully affect your total moving cost.
