I know someone who has indoor cats, dogs and a rabbit. I would like to know if anything can be used to keep the rabbit OFF the furniture. It is not shy, will hop onto furniture whether occupied or not and most likely wets and leaves droppings. Any suggestions of what would repel the creature?

Does the rabbit have a litter box, like a cat? My rabbit sometimes leaves a few droppings around the furniture, but he only wets in a litter box. Just a suggestion to think about before banning him from the furniture, although that is definitely up to the owner, as I know dogs and cats who are not allowed on certain types of furniture.
I know this will not look good, but it works like a charm with cats and dogs. Put tin foil on the sofa, chair, etc. Just on the "seat" part. For the most part it usually only takes a few days for the pet to "get it". When the bunny jumps up, it will NOT like the sound or feel of the foil.
Tinfoil worked for a while, but doesn't bother him one bit now. Might try the water squirt.
If the rabbit is spayed or neutered, it's unlikely that it will wet or leave droppings on the furniture. Of course, the rabbit may be having some kind of battle with its human--this is one way of pointing out it is not pleased with some situation. But usually rabbits only jump on furniture to get a different view of things, so unless there's something tempting up there to chew, the average spayed or neutered rabbit shouldn't do anything annoying on the furniture.
