Renting a Furnished Apartment
Dear Miss Doom :

Lear MISS Doom.
After recovering from serious
operation my doctor ordered change
of air, so we would like To rent our
apartment for three or four months
Would you please inform me what
is customary to leave in a furnished
apartment in the line of linen, cur
tains, sil9erware, dishes, etc? And
what would be a fair price to
ask for rent for n three-room and
bath apartment, with latest improve
ments, such as steam heat, hot water
supply. etc. Rent for the empty
apartment is $25.
Thank & you for an early reply
am. a STEADY READER.
Woodside.
In most instances when renting a
furnished apartment the person rent
ing the apartment supplies bed linen,
| silver, table linen and blankets. In
some cases when the owner of the
apartment has need of dishes and
cooking utensils, of course these are
then supplied by the person coming in.
If you have precious" set of
! dishes, and most housewives have,
would not advise you to leave them
out for daily use. The person COM
| ing in may be a very careful person,
still you want to do all of the break
! ing of dishes yourself
According to the condition of the
apartment, the location and the con-
Veniences, furnished apartments rent
from S35 up.
l should think that $40 would be a
modest rental.
