I also personally pay for toilette paper, laundry detergent, paper towels, dish soap, etc.

Older Sears / Homart, also.Don't expect much improvement putting flow restrictors in front of bathtubs or clothes and dish washers.

If someone puts a dish rack on that side you end up with zero counter space next to the sink.There is no counter space next to the stove, one side is the door, one side is sink.Is the door still needed if you open the bottom wall?

Pots, pans, dish soap, silverware, plates, cups. 

I am thinking about providing one to make the apartment more appealing, but perhaps not "including" it in the apartment so that I don't have to deal with it if it breaks or if they complain that it doesn't get their dishes clean or something.

FRP panels for walls in wet rooms, VCT for wet room floors, 1x4 screwed horizontally to studs & towel bar mounted to that, *no* soap dishes in showers, high gloss white paint for trim, *no* carpet, 

No- too dangerous and it becomes an unsightly garbage burning pit.One of those portable fire dishes like they sell at Wal-Mart or target?

I just believe that big business is worse than big government and I certainly don't want wall street dishing out social security benefits, as they will likely do what they do with all funds, fee it to death with super bonuses, really, look at their record.

Think cafeteria food that's made for 100's versus a dish that is made to order for folks in a small group.

Also, it's very easy to start feeling sorry for people having to dish out money for application fees every time they apply for a rental home.
