Thicker drywall (5/8s instead of 3/8)Stain resistant paint or at least easy to clean up paint (this may vary cause in most causes tenants put so much holes and dents in walls, the turnover for rentals usually require repainting anyways)Easy to clean back splash (less grout = less stuck dirt, so consider the size material)Countertop type (granite and marble stains and require to be polished and resealed eventually; quartz is stronger and stain resistant, but cost twice as much)For appliances, I suggest going to local appliance stores not big box stores.
