    Am I right in thinking I don't need to supply those items when renting out my house? I have hob, oven, microwave, washing machine and dryer. Also how about fireside sets: should I supply those.

    Saucepans, dishes and iron board = no
    In theory you can buy them and they could be a acceptable expense.

    I wouldn't expect them to be provided.

    I dont know what a fireside set is.

    Poker, tongs, shovel. Would expect that if the fire was core to the heating system, but I don't think solid fuel heating is allowed under the standards anymore.

    If it's not I wouldn't provide it - don't encourage people who wouldn't otherwise use the fire

    If there is a fireplace that can be used make sure there is a spark guard and metal bucket for ashes provided as fire prevention measures.

    You might not have to supply them but I'd expect (and always have been provided) dishes and saucepans in anywhere I've ever rented.

    OP have you read your insurance contract? A lot of underwriters for rental properties state that there should be no naked flames ie candles or open fires in a house. I personally wouldnt encourage a tenant to light a fire at all.

    Most landlords supply pots and pans. I wouldnt be a hurry to provide them. The amount of lazy tenants I have seen throwing perfectly good saucepans in the bins when cleaning a house after them moving out is ridiculous. Tenants can be so lazy when moving out, that they will actually bin a saucepan rather than clean it. If a tenant has to provide their own small items like dishes, they might be less inclined to damage them(well you dont care if they break or damage them)
