I'd get a black one, then all the appliances are black.If you could change out the sink for one that's a single sink with a new faucet like the one in the picture linked below, it would make it look a lot more modern and I love the new ones - it's so much easier to wash a huge stock pot. 

That’s why I think people here are not used to knowing what to do if weather hits freezing point particularly with letting the faucets on. 

Let them know you want all rental related communications in writing, otherwise they will knock on your door and tell you about the leaking faucet at 9:30 p.m. there is nothing wrong with being friendly with your neighbors, but the tenant landlord relationship should remains more formal.

.$600 to fix a faucet? 

Faucet will be updated with a pull down most likely. 

So, if she asks for a leaky faucet to be repaired, do so. 

I swear by stainless/ granite, quartz counter tops and a nice sink with large faucet integrated sprayer.

Painting under kitchen and bathroom sinks to protect from leaky faucets, reinforcing the towel rod with a painted 1x4 behind it.

The color scheme for the paint job, matching the lights with the faucets and all that good stuff.

Sorry.That way the insurance company is the bad guy and you have it in writing that you told them they can't have one, in case they do it anyway and something happens.They'll just turn on the sprinkler all day for them to run through.You'll have to change your lease for next time, and in the meantime, you could put water restrictors on the faucets and hope the tenant doesn't remove them.
