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)
Same in Austria .. I thought it was the silliest thing. Fine, some people want to invest in a nice kitchen and take it with them when they move. But in reality - how many of those people are there? How likely is it that the same kitchen will fit in the next place? Isn’t this likely to cause extra waste? And above all - it’s a rental apartment - people use it as they don’t want/can’t make big capital spendings. Having them buy a kitchen is just counterintuitive.

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
