You have a bad agent or a bad landlord. Any landlord who doesn't want to spend a dime on a 10-year tenant is the worst kind of landlord.

If you are prepared to replace your own white goods and take them with you, do so. Do the thing that suits your own situation, and worry less about entitlements because clearly enforcing entitlements may not be the best road for your current arrangement.

Because there is no security of tenancy.

Which tenant wants to buy furniture, only for LL to "change their mind" a year later, and wants the house back, or sell it, or whatever other excuse they give?

A lot of talk and no action. Either stop moaning about it or actually sell up. It's a free market.

Don't be on here with the poor mouth pretending you might sell up. Nobody cares whether you own the house or someone else owns it. It isn't going to be the end of humanity if another person (one who can manage/cope) buys it from you.

There will be a few tenants who might prefer an unfurnished property, but the issue is that there are very few unfurnished rentals here, which means that (a) tenants coming from another furnished rental are not going to have their own larger furniture and will have to buy furniture, which is a significant extra expense on top of the usual costs of moving house, and (b) when the landlord of their unfurnished place decides to turf them out in a couple years to sell the place, now they have a bunch of large furniture that won't fit in any furnished places, meaning they'll have to limit themselves to unfurnished rentals, or try to convince their next landlord to move the provided rental furniture into storage somewhere (which most landlords won't do), or pay extra for storage somewhere to put the landlord's furniture (or their own furniture) themselves.

No good deed in the Irish residential tenancy sector goes unpunished.
