Yes, I moved in and everything was gone. I even took all belongings from my old place by using keep furniture. When that did not work I tried selling all of it. When that did not work I put the things I wanted into my inventory or family inventory, All items from the apartment still gets removed, but I don't wish to use my own furniture I wish to keep the furniture that's already there.
I believe the apartment belonged to a previous married couple, Last name Feng. They have long since died (I am not sure where), but the apartment says it's available and I can move into it expect it won't appear furnished.
