They shouldn't be landlords if they don't want the extra costs that come with it.
Agreed. In my area, which is supposed to have excellent renter protections, they basically only need to provide walls, floor, ceiling that doesn’t leak, windows in the bedroom, electricity, working plumbing, and heat that has to be able to meet a certain warmth threshold. Oven isn’t a requirement, fridge isn’t a requirement. When my stove broke the landlord asked if we really needed one or if we could just use the microwave. Luckily since it came with the place he had to replace it.
I think you can cut that off before 'if'
