I bet you $100 there’s not a tip-over-strap attached to the stove.

Bet she did not have any mice in there.And what kind of Loony roasts 30 cats.Maybe she let them all out before broiling herself to death.This is why I say rentals should have electric stoves, dryers and water heaters, just one less thing to have to deal with (but nat gas furances).BTW, I think all of the cat escaped out of the blown out windows--they are fast and smart.

Repairs requested were around repairing appliances (dishwater, stove), caulking, additional insulation, nail hole repairs, rodent proofing, ceiling fan replacement.

I have seen new houses torn apart to sell the copper for booze, and the trim torn off to burn in a wood stove.

I have done demo work,  flooring installations, tiling, drywall finish, using miter and table saw to cut and install baeboards and window sills and building picture frames with scraps, .I built a bar cabinet, an island cabinet around a center island stove, I have ran packer machines that compact the dirt in a foundation before the concrete is poured.Of course painting and sanding and varnishing...replacing electrical plugs and receptacles, hanging light fixturees, replaced plumbing pvc, used all sorts of power tools and saws and LIKED IT!...

The song goes: "Silver Threads and Golden Needles will not mend this heart of mine" for a reason. 

I looked on Trulia, Zillow and CL and these apartments are renting out with all comps (heat, HW, Microwave, granit countertops, washer/dryer, stove, refrigerator) 1bdrm 900 sq ft 827 month & 2 bdrm $925 mo? 

I would personally recommend looking for a unit that either has propane included in the HOA dues, or has a pellet stove (or you are planning to put in a pellet stove).

See if you can get a narrower fridge and put it on the wall where the stove is in that space-that is where the fridge should be. 

I had to explain to a tenant one time that you see all the grease dripping on the side of the stove from not cleaning it??
