Vent for stove necessary in rental home?

[Cameron Price]

I'm getting ready to rent out a propery I rennovated. It has no vent/ hood over the stove. Is a hood necessarry? 

It doesnt have a exhaust fan in the bathroom either.  I 'm at the property as I post this to figure out what I need to do to add the exhaust fan in the bathroom to keep from dealing with mold issues. Is it the same type of thing in the kitchen?

@Cameron Price check with your local code enforcement office/buillding department. Laws vary state to state and even city to city. The hood above the stove is not typically required but without it you will have a mess on the ceiling above from the grease and oils. Look at Home Depot. They make units that don't require external venting. They have a filter  that collects the grease and just exhaust the clean air back into the apartment. They usually cost less than $100. As far as the bathroom, in my area if you have a window in the bathroom an exhaust fan is not required but I always try and install one if possible to cut down on mold and mildew. Do you have an attic above or is there a second floor. An attic above would make it easy to run the vent hose in the attic and cut a hole in the side of the house to exhaust the air. I've also used a drop ceiling to lower the ceiling and then run the vent hose out the side of the house above the drop ceiling. Good luck.
