Bought a little home, furnished. The Peloton is no longer there. Is that how it goes? (1 Viewer)

[Harry Frogfish]

Not a huge deal but I do think they thought I wouldn't notice or care so they took it on the way out. Do I ask for it back? Thanks.

Was everything itemized you were getting? We used to do an addendum?

When I think "furnished" I think "basic furniture needed to live in reasonably good condition." In other words, I think a bed, dining room table, living room furniture including a coffee table and some end tables, and, probably a TV, all basic appliances, and a kitchen with reasonable kitchenware (utensils include a silverware set and things like spatulas and tongs).

I would not think a peloton is included in the above. So, unless you specifically bargained for it, I don't really think they're out of line by taking it.

Oh come on! Peloton is definitely furniture. https://alessifit.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/unnamed.jpeg

A Peloton is not furnishings.

A coat rack is definitely furniture.

Have you asked your real estate agent? I'm sure they've dealt with stuff like this before. may be a little bit of a long shot but doesn't hurt to ask

 

[Chemical X]

itemized list? if not, find a new agent.

Did you expect them to leave the beer and condoms too?

Only the used ones.

It turns out the previous owners also made off with the cars that had been previously stored in the garage, the coats that had been in the coat closet, and a couple of t-ball trophies that my kids were really looking forward to display in their own rooms.

This thread has to be fishing - who would expect an exercise bike as "furnishings" - did he think they'd pay his monthly fee also?

When we sold our first house, the buyer was pissed that I removed the entertainment system and speakers in the rec room. I had built a shelf for the receiver and the speakers were hung on the wall, not built in. I left all the wiring I'd installed and the system was ready to go for him to plug and play using his equipment. He was livid and I was completely dumbfounded - could not imagine he expected me to leave my audio equipment for him as part of a home purchase.

 

[Chemical X]

off topic a bit, but we just bought a house in italy with furnishings. the interpretation of what will and won’t be included is crazy and can be daunting. we broke it down like business for the most part…….what is affixed and what can be considered personal property. we went so far as to include pictures for detail.

a stereo is not permanent to the property, geez.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

If it’s not bolted to the wall, it needs to be itemized.

There is a section in real estate contracts called inclusions. If you and your agent didn’t list it there, it wasn’t included.

(Although if you were buying it fully furnished, it would be better to have everything included itemized in an addendum as someone else mentioned.)

Thanks, a serious reply. Lots of sarcasm, which I enjoy (and expected). It was just a question on something I didn't want to bother the realtor about.

And did I not say it's no big deal @BassNBrew?

I wanted to try that thing out and become a real FBG!

OMG, blasphemous! BTW the seller lives in Michigan, this home is in Cali. You really think he shipped that thing out there? No way.

Also, if it matters, the home was not for sale. Contacted the owner and wrote a letter saying we would like to buy the home, exactly as is (they literally just renovated it to an Airbnb), so this is a little different than your typical sale.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, it was just a question, sorry it struck a cord.

It being a short-term rental does change things. Usually when STRs are sold furnished/turk-key it includes everything, down to the dish towels and bath mats. Not that there is anything legal saying that, just that's the typical protocol. And yes, TVs/stereos as well.

 

[Vanilla Guerrilla]

It really tied the room together man.

maybe they just hid it on you as sort of a welcome to the new place hazing happens all the time i hear take that to the bank brohan

This is wrong. Unless stated in the contract, only permanent fixtures stay with a home. Anything else has to be itemized.

I understand you're talking about legally, but I'm just talking about in practice. Out of state investors sell their STRs, they never even step back into the place from the date the offer is made to the day the keys are turned over (by someone else, remotely). That's how it works in practice 99% of the time with STRs. I've been involved with dozens of these transactions, bought/sold a few myself, know people involved in hundreds of them.

If someone buys my STR in Florida 2000 miles away from me it will come with everything that's in there right now from the towels to the sliverware to the TVs to the arcade machines to the liquor in the owner's closet. In practice, that's how it works 99% of the time when an investor is selling an STR to another investor.

I'm putting together my offer on the place. What arcade machines are we talking about? Liquor in the closet up to FBG standards?

For a separate unit (ADU) / workout room? Um, as incredibly witty your necessary one-liner was, it actually is a good addition. I'll get another one, so whatever, but no way they shipped that thing cross country.

I think either the property manager might have snuck one by the goalie and now I'm just curious more than anything.

BTW, I said at the very beginning it's not a huge deal. And again, this kind of transaction is new to me. Christ, I've seen COUNTLESS threads with people up in arms over things worth next to nothing.

That's my guess.

Whenever I hear/read snuck/sneak one past the goalie all I can think about is Mikayla Demaiter.
