First rental property question
I have flipped my first home and I’m ready to list it for rent. The house is in Denison TX.
My question is, I’m legally obliged to provide a range/stove and fridge for the tenants? If so, can I charge a little extra for rent?
Thank you,

I agree with others here. Stove/range is expected by most, and candidly will likely reduce your tenant pool (significantly) if you don't provide one. A refrigerator tends to be pretty standard as well with rentals, but you can probably get away with not providing one.
Just beware that there is a possibility of some damage when asking renters to move/bring their own. I've heard some rough stories about fridges with water dispensers not properly installed by tenants.
