This was a cost-effective way to meet our requirement of providing just a stove and refrigerator (we don’t include washers or dryers), without breaking the bank further.But here’s the twist: If we were upgrading appliances for a long-term tenant with a stellar payment history, we might invest in brand-new appliances.
