All lots need at least wall and floor coverings in all rooms, which look good and make sense for the style of the lot. If you add furniture, it should also look good and make sense.

Possible Assessments
At a minimum, lots uploaded to MTS need wall and floor paint applied to all rooms. This wall and floor paint should also match the style of the house and look good.
Since TS3 allows the player to choose between furnished & unfurnished lots in game, there is no need to supply an unfurnished lot in addition to a furnished version.
This lot is partially or fully furnished, but the decoration is not realistic or doesn't fit the style of the lot.
Your lot has wall and floor paint which look good and if there is furniture, that furniture looks good too!
General Guidelines
All lots must be fully built, with wall and floor coverings in all rooms. The wall and floor coverings should match the style of the house, be at least somewhat reasonable for the space (e.g. no puzzle piece carpet in the kitchen, please) and look good.
Beyond this, we strongly encourage you to give lots at least basic furnishings (bed, toilet, shower, sink, fridge, lighting, etc.), though this is not required. If you choose to furnish your lot more fully the furnishings should be consistent with the style of the lot and make functional sense. Putting a toilet in the middle of the living room, for example, would not be appropriate in almost any house.

Since TS3 lots can easily be purchased as furnished or unfurnished thanks to the game's features, there is no need to upload an additional unfurnished version of residential lots which you are uploading as furnished.
The Sims 2 Guidelines, apply in addition to the above General ones.
Apartments should have wall and floor coverings in all rooms. However, while basic furniture to fulfill a sim's need (think, fridges, toilets, stoves, beds, etc) is recommended, it's not a must. The reason why it's recommended is so that your downloaders' sims can still live and fulfill their needs the vanilla way without any cheats or hacks.
