    My favorite are the ones that don’t even include a refrigerator. Those are the types of landlords that deserve to have the house trashed by every tenant

      I was looking around at rental houses a few years back because the owner of our current rental was kicking us out to sell. I visited a house that the owner was “flipping” for rental and noticed there was no stove/oven. I asked the owner about it and he said “oh, tenants usually bring their own.”

      Place was sketchy as hell in other areas, too; tons of those cheapo plastic panel walls propped up at odd angles hiding god knows what, bare hardwood floors that had clearly had the carpet ripped up without refinishing or even removing all the staples, and slanted floors that really made me feel like I was about to fall into the basement. Luckily we were able to find another place, but it was a low CoL area and I’m sure some desperate family got stuck in that heap.

      I once looked into an apartment that was essentially an empty box with a separate fee for each amenity / appliance.

      It’s been a while, but I think one toilet was included, but nothing else to my memory.
