<prompt> Human: Basically what the title says. Our current stove sucks, its one of those electric coil ones. Our whole apartment is electric, but I can probably get one of those electric induction stoves or something. Thing is, I dont know the best way to do it. Do I pay for it, even though Im just renting? If I were to do that, would I take it with me ifwhen I move? Do I split it with the landlord somehow?Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!Assistant: Just pay for it yourself. The benefit of having an appliance you really like far outweighs what you will spend. Talk with your Landlord and say you want to buy a new stove that is his to keep. Have two choices available that you are happy with and give him the option to choose color too if its relevant. To further sell it offer to make all the arrangements yourself. Best Buy has a take-away service for the previous appliance if the Landlord doesnt want it.Ive done this before. Most landlords will not turn down free property. Especially if they have the option of taking it for themselves after you move out.Human: Yeah this was certainly on the table, though sort of a last resort. If Im buying it, Id like to be able to keep it, which brings up the issue of the landlord needing to store the current one for when I eventually move out, however long thatll take. But Id rather do that than keep using the current one.  <response>: As a landlord, I wouldnt be willing to store a stove like that. I would probably be willing to split the cost of a new one with the tenant if the old stove was truly bad or marginal. If it were just a personal preference for the tenant theyd be on their own.
