That's one of the reasons my spouse and I don't like to rent--the horrible furniture lots of rentals come with, not to mention a too small tv, small refrigerator, likely non-induction cooktop, uncomfortable mattress, bad art work, if there is any at all, etc. And, the worse part, having to tiptoe around all the lousy stuff hoping you don't, god forbid, break or damage something. Life is short and we much prefer creating our own spaces, with all our own stuff. But, we do realize that many prefer renting and it's whatever works best for them.
