-Make sure your kitchen appliance package matches up with price point.

Appliances look nice until the pet hair destroys the fan on your nice stainless steel fridge and you are out another $1k+ to replace it... 

• How do leases typically handle furniture/appliance damage or wear?

But I also don’t know of any appliance shop with no return policy.

So, many landlords legally "bribe" these S8 tenants to move into these Neighborhoods/Properties with free appliances, TVs and internet.

With that said I am looking to do minimal work to renovate the home such as painting and adding new appliances.

@Kathie Mata   appliance insurance may work in some places, in my area is quite slow to show up.   

The story behind Rommel here is that he was in a very abusive household with some bad guys.

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).
