Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Dutch term or phrase: casco
I am currently translating a short agreement (Sublease), and am struggling with the above term.

The context is as follows:

"Het ondergehuurde is/wordt als casco inclusief verbruik van gas, water en licht onderverhuurd, tenzij elders schriftelijk aanvullend of anders door partijen is overeengekomen"

All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.

Many thanks,

agree  telraam: I think it may be better to say "without furnishings and fittings"

agree  Neil Cross: "Unfurnished" was my first thought, the idea being that the property is just a "shell".

carcass work


Explanation:
Onroerend Goed Lexicon [Van den End/Gateway] renders 'casco' as 'carcass work'. Not quite sure if the term would be appropriate here.
