    I think if you've rented a furnished property then you can't leave it as an unfurnished property.

    The landlord will have to pay to replace the furniture for the next tenant which doesn't seem right.

    Clarify with the landlord if they are happy for you to leave the property unfurnished.

    The furniture was apparently 'worn out' and would have had another lot of wear and tear on it from the tenant.

    Furniture does need replacing eventually, and it is down to the owner to do that normally...

    Why doesnt it seem right when he was asked if he wanted it, and said no. He is having to replace it because he told her to throw it away...

    The OP said the furniture was a bit worn out but not broken and asked the LL if they wanted the furniture for storage and the LL said no and to dispose of them but it's best to check with LL if they are happy to be left with a property with no bed, sofa and kitchen stools, plus there's no evidence that the LL said to dispose of the items.

    The OP says the landlord said 'and to dispose of them how I wish' and she has a text record of that, so not sure why you are saying that,

    We can only go on what the OP has told us, otherwise theres very little point in answering the OP's question. She says she has evidence of him saying that, if she is telling the truth, then shes fine.

    If someone offered to 'replace' something of mine, I would expect to keep it. If my tenant said they had bought some of their own furniture and would I like them to keep mine until the end of the tenancy, that would be a different matter.

    I really think this can be interpreted either way.

    How? OP asked if they wanted stored, landlord said no.
