The only thing the code department didn't allow us to do is to put a stove up there but it has a separate entrance and everything.

Stick to basics...free standing self cleaning ovens with coil stove elements; refers that do no have through the door water or ice; and if possible (more and more difficult to find) no "digital" touch pads.

I bought my house last year with a dishwasher stove and a over the range microwave.

"Excess of normal wear and tear" is not "negligence"...Think negligence as unintentional damage caused by the tenant..things like: candles left burning, stove left on, cigarette on couch, kids stuffing a toy down a toilet, causing the water to back up, etc...That stated, your comment: "Additionally, the renters liability portion would also be another layer of protection between visitors and guests and the landlord.

Do buyers prefer free-range stoves over 30 inches Coil Electric Cooktops? 

When doing a conract with my GC on a rehab project, what are appropriate prices for:-installing a microwave (above sink)-hooking up stove (basically just means moving it into place and plugging it in)-setting refrigerator in place (putting all the shelves in, hooking it up to icemaker line)-dishwasher (anchoring it in place, possibly hooking it up to electric but maybe my electrcian would do that)And also what is an appropriate amount to add to the contract for delivery of materials and the time it takes to go get them?

I buy base model stoves/washer/dryer and an appropriate sized fridge for the house (smaller for 2br, bigger for 4br) from Home Depot for the free delivery and fairly priced setup.

Both listings stated they came with the fridge and stove and the leases also contained a clause saying the landlord provided the appliances.

Four basement units need ceramic tile; not carpet.New carpet with under pad in bedroom and spare room/closet costs $250.00 in materials.When the previous owner realized he was going to lose the building he decided to remove every single stove, fridge, laundry machines and vending machine.Currently I have 9 brand new sets of stainless steel appliances that are conveying with the property (only set used has been in my apartment).9 units have been fully demo’d, prepped and cleaned ready for a deluxe renovation.I have worked closely with the Building Inspector and he’s totally cool to deal with.

I would go back with natural gas for sure if the stove and hot water heater were still gas.
