Can tenants buy new dishwasher?

[Ellie Narie]

I want to rent an apartment or a duplex, but most places around here have ancient appliances from 20 years ago. The only appliance I really care about is the dishwasher. I cook from scratch and I am used to having a stainless steel bosch while living with family. But it's time to get my own place, but all the apartments around have ancient dishwashers. I don't think I'll ever get used to pre-soaking and pre-rinsing dishes. 

So, can I just buy a new dishwasher and put it into an apartment I plan to rent?
