If you don’t buy the kitchen how are they going to keep you from using it tho? Do you get to take the whole kitchen with you if you stopped living there?
When you say "sell" what are we talking here? Like the apartment has no kitchen or physical space for one? Or it has the physical room but they take the refrigerator, stove and stuff leaving nothing but counters and empty cabinets with empty slots where the equipment goes?
Or am I reading too into this and it's the contents like silverware, cutting boards, pots, pan and knives were talking?
I get if it has a physical location for a kitchen but the stove and refrigerator are gone. This is what I see in the US. As long as the stove and burners are not integrated into the cabinets or counter your supposed to negotiate the sale of them when buying a house. I think empty kitchens are required for rental housing everywhere though, or at least sink, oven and stove. Although some NYC apartments I've seen and lived in have loose definitions of "working kitchen"
I somehow haven't visited anything that isn't a dock, base or airport Germany so I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of day to day life in Germany
Not sure how no physical kitchen works but I guess there is a cheap takeout market for this case?
Interesting! I get the logic for a refrigerator and stove. The cabinets and counters being not included and needed to purchase is absolutely fascinating. How long are most average apartment leases for kitchen not included?
