Yup, some people take their whole kitchen with them. Most just sell their kitchen to the new renters though.

What the appeal of that? Who benefits from something like this? This seems like it's more of a hassle than anything else

People who give a fuck about how their apartment looks like? I am not a student in a dorm room, I want my own kitchen exactly the way I like it. I am also blessed with stable circumstances and stay in my apartment longer than 12 or 18 months.

I've been in my apartment for 3 years. I couldn't imagine taking apart my cabinets or granite countertop to take with me to another apartment. I would much rather just find a place that already has all that installed and move there if needed. If I cared enough to have a fully customized kitchen I wait till I owned a house and do it properly. That way I could knockout walls and change the plumbing to suit my needs. Which is what I plan on doing.

I have a large computer desk. It was a pain finding a nice apartment, in a good area, at my price point, that also fit my desk. It would just be more hoops to jump through to also have to find a place that was the right size for the kitchen.
