Never heard of an apartment not supplying the tenant with a stove and refrigerator. Now you have to go buy one and then if you move, you're going to have to sell it. Sounds very unfair to me and wonder why they make tenants buy their own.
Meh, screw buying a new one. I bought a used one yesterday for $50. Responded to an ad on craigslist. The guy is selling it because he is moving out of state to live with some family. Does not need it.
He was also selling his washer & dryer for cheap too ($50 each) but someone else already bought those.
Its an older fridge but it works fine and he had all his food in there still because he is not moving for another week.. I can pick it up then.
If it lasts a year or longer then it was worth the money. If not, Im out $50.. I'll survive.
That guy sure was a talker.. I went over to his house to check out the fridge on my lunch break and I was 15 minutes late getting back to work. I dont need to know your life story, I just want to buy your refrigerator. Lol
Here are pictures of it (pulled from his craigslist ad):

Well Ive had that fridge a month and its been working fine.
At 1st it wasn't doing a very good job keeping things cold. I looking online for tips on improving performance of a fridge and one site suggested I clean off the mechanical stuff on the bottom in the back, take off any covers or insulation that may be covering the equipment (keeping it hot, they need room to breath), Make sure the back of the fridge is 2 inches away from the wall, fill empty jugs with water and put them in the freezer / or fridge to occupy unused space (when its not full of food) because apparently a fuller fridge is easier to keep cool than an emptier one.
I did all the above a week or two ago and now its working a lot better.

I rent and I have my own fridge-freezer, washing machine, drier and dishwasher. I also had an oven but when I moved into my present home there was a huge built in fan-oven, which is absolutely brilliant and cooks so much faster than my old oven that I got rid of mine.
I have always rented as I couldn't afford to buy. I prefer to have my own things as I prefer to buy the items I want instead of having to use a landlords goods which, in my experience, are always old and dilapidated items. At my last house the landlord had a ratty old fridge which didn't work too well. Luckily he was happy to remove it as I had my own.
The first house I rented, I had my parents round for dinner. I put together a lovely casserole and put it into the oven to cook. But the oven wouldn't switch on! I phoned the landlord but he had never used it, having picked it up somewhere secondhand. In the end my dad, an electrician, fixed it when he visited and then we went out to eat instead.
Landlords tend to supply cheap, shoddy, second-hand goods. That way, when the items go wrong, they can replace them with more cheap, shoddy, second-hand goods. They don't want to spend their profits on their tenants. My current landlord prefers to spend his profits in the Bahamas, several times a year!
So if I buy my own white-goods items, I have good quality items to use and the landlord saves money.
