What major appliances are required for a kitchen?

[J Grant]

The definition of a kitchen is a room used for cooking and food preparation. You need cabinets and a fridge to store food. You need a sink to clean food. You need some counterspace to prepare food. And you need a stove to cook food. Take away any of those things and you have functional obs. and maybe no kitchen at all...

It does need a refirgerator when sold -kitchen does need for appraisal per post 16 a stove or hook up for one, cabinets and a sink.

A house can be sold with no refrigerator, expectation being the new owner would buy a refrigerator and plug it in. We can adjust though for a kitchen sold with no appliances, esp if most homes in the area are sold with a full set of appliances. Though in certain price ranges, buyers tend to remove functional but dated appliances and install new ones anyway.

It also needs a coffee pot, toaster, air fryer, and can opener. LOL!

Stoves and refrigerators are personal property. Take them away and you still have a kitchen.

These days it needs a pizza oven too!

I'm renovating my rental and I decided not to put a dishwasher in the small kitchen because of lack of space.
In the past few potential tenants really wanted a dishwasher and was a deal killer.
In general, dishwasher is not really needed, right? Someone told me to get top rent, I should put dishwasher.

What about the wine glasses? Lets be civilized. Stove is necessary for the horderves and you cannot eat without drinking.

I always think about foreclosure, how easy can the item be moved from the site and sold off? Dishwasher not too easy, fridge can be gone in 2 minutes.
I always think that the list should NOT be on the appraisal report at all.
