missing 1 required positional argument error Python 3.6.2

Here is my code for part of my program. I am attempting to have users input in order to return an apartment type, deposit, and rent amount. I have included some of my other functions, along with the one giving me the error, for context. I am getting the error: TypeError: determineRent() missing 1 required positional argument: 'furniture' I am unsure of what I am missing....thanks for your help.

def getType():
    print ("<<<<<Apartment Rental Program>>>>>")
    print("       -----------------------")
    print("      Studio --------> 1")
    print("      One Bedroom ---> 2")
    print("      Two Bedroom ---> 3")
    print("      Exit Program --> 4")
    print()
    global choice
    choice= int(input("Enter the type of apartment you wish to rent (1-3 or 4 to exit the program):"))
    global kind
    if choice== 1:
            kind= 'Studio'
    elif choice== 2:
            kind= 'One-Bedroom'
    elif choice== 3:
            kind= 'Two-Bedroom'
    else:
            print("Thank you for inquiring about our apartments for rent!")
            exit()
    while (choice >4 or choice <1):
        print("Invalid apartment type....must be 1-4!")
        choice= int(input("Enter the type of apartment you wish to rent (1-3 or 4 to exit the program):  "))
    if (choice >=1 and choice <=3):
           furn= input("Do you want the apartment furnished (Y/N)?  ")

    global furniture
    def furniture(furn):
        if furn== 'y':
            furniture= 'Furnished'
        elif furn== 'Y':
            furniture= 'Furnished'
        elif furn== 'n':
            furniture= 'Unfurnished'
        elif furn== 'N':
            furniture= 'Unfurnished'
    return kind, furniture #return to function that called them

#use the apartment type and furniture to determine rent and deposit
def determineRent(kind, furniture):
    global rent
    global deposit
    def deposit(kind):
        if kind == 1:
            deposit= 400
        elif kind == 2:
            deposit= 500
        elif kind == 3:
            deposit= 600
    def rent(furniture):
        if (kind)== 1:
            if furniture== 'Furnished':
                        rent= 750
            elif furniture == 'Unfurnished':
                        rent= 600
        elif (kind) == 2:
            if furniture == 'Furnished':
                        rent= 900
            elif furniture == 'Unfurnished':
                        rent= 750
        elif (kind) == 3:
            if furniture == 'Furnished':
                        rent= 1025
            elif furniture == 'Unfurnished':
                        rent= 925
    return rent, deposit #return to the function that called them

#dislpay the users selections and deposit/rent amount based on selections
def displayRent(kind, furniture, rent, deposit):
    if (choice <=3 or choice >=1):
     print("Description:     ", determineRent(kind),determineRent(furniture))
     print("Deposit:         $",determineRent(deposit))
     print("Rent:            $",determineRent(rent))

main()

The issue is your function determineRent expects two arguments kind and furniture. You need to pass them both together while calling the function, this way determineRent( kind, furniture) rather than passing each of them individually.

I would suggest you to go through this basic tutorial on functions before moving ahead.
