Perfectly good appliances with minor imperfections...but if you really don't want to spring for the initial cost of buying new, you could wright in the lease that the fridge is not the owners property...

I've even heard of someone putting together a cheat sheet for the tenant to keep on their fridge.

I closed on a 24 unit apartment in Nov, and post close found a handful of small issues like this (leaky fridge, missing sheetrock in closet, etc.) that I just had to eat.2) Did you get the property professionally inspected prior to closing? 

Your fridge will be behind a door and right next to the stove.

And the kitchen...even though I don't usually cook when I travel, I like having the fridge and microwave, full size trash cans, etc... 

We leave something sweet in the fridge, we check on them after arrival, we let them know if they can arrive early after cleaners finish up, we leave them a review and contact them to say we left them a 5 star review and would appreciate if they could do the same for us.We are near 100% of people that leave a review.

We added an exterior entrance, a kitchenet (24" range, 24" Sink, and undercabinet fridge), and sealed it off from the rest of the house.

On Airbnb, if they break stuff, you usually get a bad review if you try to charge them, especially for petty stuff that would be a reasonable apartment charge like a broken fridge door shelf for $60 or stained sheets/towels or stolen power strips.

(Unfortunately, our deductible is $2,500)It should be noted that she sent multiple maintenance requests the week before this happened, including a crack in the fridge shelf, a broken HDMI cable, and not being able to light the fireplace.

The structure is old (hence the demo) but still has salvageable/sellable items inside such as cabinetry, granite counters, all kinds of fixtures, and appliances like dishwasher, dryer, fridges, oven, etc.
