The Kitchen That Won’t Kitchen

When one rents an apartment with a kitchen, that’s because one wants a kitchen. It makes sense, doesn’t it? Strangely enough, though, this poor tenant was informed by his landlord that the kitchen in his apartment was for eating and warming food only.

Can’t the landlord simply remove the steam alarm so the kitchen can be used for purposes other than eating and microwaving food? And why didn’t he tell his tenant about the kitchen issues before he signed the lease?
