Problems with putting a flat top stove in a rental?

[Adam Vadnais]

I love having a flat top stove. They are easier to clean and act as additional counter space when not in use. I notice that rentals rarely have them. When I need to replace the stoves in my units, is there any reason I shouldn't get flat tops?

Are they problems-in-waiting when used by tenants?

What are your experiences?

I always opt for glass when possible. I have almost 1400 properties we handle and I’ve only had a tenant break a top once in almost 13 years.
