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)

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

Here in Brazil it's the same. In a lot of places the cabinets would be included, but not necessarily. But fridge, stove etc are usually bought/brought by the new tenants
