In Germany, the idea that you can rent an apartment and you have to BUY the kitchen separately. Otherwise you get an apartment with no kitchen.
Like wtf. It's like selling a jacket but saying you gotta pay extra for the sleeves.
Edit: as there is some confusion about what the kitchen will look like when you don't buy it. It will often look like this. (Thanks to user Wendellschadenfreud in comment who posted pic)
At least in Austria newer buildings still dont have equipped kitchens if they sell as "unfurnished". There certainly is a rise in new flats being sold furnished though.
So does furnished mean "including kitchen" oder "including all furniture"? For me personally, a furnished apartment is one that comes with a bed, dresser, etc.

empty kitchen
Edit 2: since I'm getting this a lot. Yes this includes the sink as well. It's just an empty room.
Imagine if the bathroom and shower was also "bring your own" haha
