Moving with nothing but clothes, one renter discovered a faster, easier, and more flexible way to make a new space feel like home.
Moving to a new state can be exciting—but showing up to an empty apartment with nothing but a suitcase? That’s overwhelming.
That’s what happened to Grace when she moved to Florida.

“I love a fresh start,” she says, “but I walked into my new place with literally nothing—just clothes. I didn’t even have a fork.”
After a few uncomfortable weeks of sitting on the floor and eating takeout, she started looking for a solution. That’s when she discovered CORT Furniture Rental.
“It was the best thing I could’ve found,” she said. “You go on CORT.com, choose exactly what you need—bed, sofa, kitchen gear, even decor—and they deliver it, set it up, and make your place livable immediately.”
Grace customized her rental package to fit her space and budget. No more guessing if something would fit. No worrying about whether she’d keep it when she moved again.
“I’ve lived in everything from studios to family homes to dorms,” she said. “What I needed this time was a space that felt mine—but I didn’t want to buy a bunch of stuff I’d need to resell or store.”
Why Furniture Rental Made Sense to Grace – in Her Own Words
- It made the space feel like home—fast: “I didn’t feel like I was camping in my own apartment.”
- I could choose my own pieces: “This wasn’t one-size-fits-all. I made it mine.”
- I’m not stuck with any of it: “If I move again, I just schedule pickup. No Craigslist sales. No hauling furniture.”
- The quality is actually good: “These are pieces I would’ve picked for myself anyway.”
Fresh Start, Fully Furnished
Grace’s story is all too familiar for anyone who’s moved to a new city, started a new job, or landed in a place temporarily while figuring things out. Buying furniture can feel permanent, expensive, and overwhelming—especially when your life is still in motion.
But furniture rental gives you the freedom to live well now, without locking yourself into a design or a purchase you’ll regret later.
“I wish I’d known about CORT the day I moved,” Grace said. “It would’ve saved me so much stress. I’m telling everyone now—you don’t have to figure it all out at once. Just start with what makes your space livable.”
