<prompt> Human: Im renting a three bedroom apartment. The stove in the kitchen does not work properly. The entire kitchen was sold to me by the landlord when I moved in about a year ago.I could just replace the stove, but the sink in the kitchen is also a bit old and gross though not broken. So Id want to replace that to. I expect that replacing both, having the old ones removed and the new ones installed will come out about 1000.If Im going to invest that much money in this apartment, I might as well replace the entire kitchen, since the old one is probably 30 years old but well maintained. This will probably cost around 3000-5000. The floor tiles would need to be replaced, so Id have to talk to the landlord about that because I wont be paying that.Here are some complications: Ill want to move out not too far in the future. Theres a university-related opportunity coming up for me in a different city near the end of 2018. Even if that does not pan out, my boyfriend also wants to move to a different city, so the chances that Ill be moving out in 2018 are high. This means that Ill have to sell whatever I put in to the new renter, though considering the amount of apartment seekers in this city, this should not be a problem. Ill probably be able to get at least 50 of the price back. Theres a legionella infestation in the water system here. Ive installed a filter in the shower, and the water system has allegedly been disinfected and will be repaired by the house management, but if its still not fixed in a few months Id consider moving out. Looking for a new apartment in this city will take months. Any apartment I do find will probably cost me at least 100month more than this one. If that wasnt the case, Id probably be looking. Moving obviously also costs money. Theres a clause in my lease that says I cant move out without finding a new renter, but if I cant find any due to the legionella that may be forgiven. I dont know what that would mean for any kitchen stuff Ive installed. I dont currently cook on the stove, if I put in a new one Ill probably save some money on food.So, considering that Im not sure how long Ill stay in this apartment or how long I have to stay in this apartment, whats best from a financial perspective? Try to put in a new kitchen and hope for the best Only replace the offending appliances Do nothing and at least wait for the water repairs to be finishedI wont have to take up a loan for any of these options.  <response>: You should probably post on rgermany or the EU pf subreddit. This subreddit is mostly US and whats expected from the landlord and tenant are very different in Germany. What youre suggesting you never be something a tenant would do in the US. And the whole selling the kitchen to the next tenant, not an American thing either.
