Typically, smaller units especially in OCR would be rented out as fully furnished, unlike the CCR/RCR ones where tenants have deeper pockets and may wish to choose their own furnitures.
I suggest you just provide the basic white goods + lamps + curtains first... Open up your unit for a few viewings and test the market, see what the general tenant pool is looking for. Once you have an interested party, you can then nego further on what else to be added (cos sometimes what you provide may not be what the tenant wants).
As for the damages, it depends on whether its due to mis-handling by tenants or wear-and-tear or faulty product. Mis-handling is clear cut and tenant has to pay. As for wear-and-tear, there should be a clause in most TAs stating that anything less than $X amount would be payable by the tenant.
