I just rehabbed a house and spent about $1,300 for a whole set: fridge, gas stove/range, dishwasher and garbage disposal.

Water, garbage and heat paid by landlord, with steam heat.

When I did my EPA lead safe course to be certified for lead removal, it was all about the removal process, the garbage ends up at the dump, there was no protocol for where it goes once it’s removed.

For example, is anyone including some sort of checklist as part of their lease that states each specific issue, who pays, and cost for common repairs like clogged drains or garbage disposals.

My lease is 10 pages long, and covers specifics on bugs, garbage disposal, washer & dryer, toilet clogs, and most everything.

They were ugly pieces of garbage that just didn't get the attention of the broader market.

That is garbage and whoever you contact to market it to will probably figure you don't have it under contract pretty easily. 

@Chris Harvey Leadpropeller is absolute garbage.

There's no way I'd stuff who-knows-what down a garbage disposal but your tenant does.

I usually use this checklist of things to do during the final walk-through (and I take my time), including but not limited to: "Check the exterior of the home, especially if there have been strong wind or rain storms since your last visit.Turn all light fixtures on and off.Make sure the seller hasn’t removed any fixtures, such as chandeliers, that he or she they agreed to leave.Check all major appliances.Turn heat and/or air conditioning on and off.Turn on water faucets; check for leaks under sinks.Test the garage door openers.Flush all toilets.Open and close all windows and doors.Do a visual spot-check of ceilings, walls and floors.Turn on the garbage disposal and exhaust fans.Check the status of any agreed-upon repairs.Check screens and storm windows.
