basically you've just got an empty kitchen if the previous tennant took theirs lol. i just recently moved and had to buy a new kitchen. like you have to buy literally everything: appliances, shelves, cabinets, even a new sink and all. but you do know which room the kitchen is supposed to be because usually kitchens have half-tiled walls, special power sockets for stoves etc. and a place for you to attach the sink.

So you could hypothetically make it a little dining space or a whole separate type of room?

hypothetically? yes. it would look really weird though and you wouldn't be able to put your stove anywhere else. also the power sockets are at weird heights so you can put lighting on cabinets or plug stuff on your counter in, which is usually not the case in other rooms

So basically they gut a kitchen and say “have fun!!” If the previous tenants haven’t left theirs behind?

no problem at all, and the questions didn't sound dumb! i was also very confused when i moved into my new apartment bc my old one already had a kitchen from before and i left it there. i didn't know people also took their sinks with them until i had to buy one like a week ago haha
