So currently in my condo (owned), the current fridge is still functional but seems to be slowly dying as we have had to turn the thermostat up on it gradually in the past year or so. I have a new basic top-freezer refrigerator on order to replace it (scheduled for delivery on July 8th but it has been back ordered for a while now so who knows). I got a pretty decent price on it (it definitely costs more than now than the price I locked in at) and it matches most of our other appliances. Since we will eventually need a new fridge, I figured it wouldn't hurt to just get a matching one so when the time comes to sell the place, hopefully it'll make the kitchen a little more appealing.
Plans to move have sort of 'accelerated' though and there's a possibility we may move in the next couple months and rent for a year in the area we intend to be. In this case, we would likely rent the current place out for at least a year (possibly two max) before selling the place. I was wondering if you guys think I should keep the order for the new fridge and swap the old one out or if I shouldn't even bother if we plan to rent this place out.
I was curious about the same thing with the washer and dryer too and if we ought to plan to move those out and into wherever we rent (unless there's a W/D already provided).
I had initially preferred to rent a place out in the new area that already had a W/D and fridge for use just for the sake of ease and not having to transport the W/D and potentially a fridge around, but am now wondering about this as, from reading around, it seems like if anything happens to any of those items (even if the renter causes the damage), it's my loss and the renters are responsible for purchasing new units that are their own.
Just wanted to see what would make the most sense, especially with the new fridge on order. I'd either cancel the order or possibly delay it to a future date and change the address of delivery to the new place (again, assuming the new place isn't furnished with one already) and just leave our existing fridge in-place as-is for renters to use.
Thoughts?
