Freestanding fridge freezer in integrated space

[MrsPicklesonSmythe]

We're moving into a rental that has an integrated fridge freezer however, I have this Bush retro style fridge freezer that's only a year old and I am very attached to it.
Is there any way I can fit it into the integrated space? (wondering if I could maybe remove the cupboard door and store it until we leave) or am i going to have to do without it and store it instead?

I very much doubt it sorry - I think you'd have to take out the whole cupboard and that would disrupt either side of it and plinths etc

Oh dear I thought that might be the case. Very sad to leave this sat in a garage for a year or two. I hope it survives.

I can't imagine a landlord would be very happy with you doing this. I think you will have to live without it.

Even if it would fit I agree as you are renting I doubt the landlord would agree to you doing it

(Is there anywhere else you could put it? My SIL has a freestanding fridge freezer in the living room?!!)

if you have room, you can put a free-standing FF in any convenient place as an extra one.

utility room, perhaps, or under the stairs if it will not be in the way of pipes or meters.

they are fairly light.

There's literally no where else for it in the house no utility room, under stairs etc it would have to go in the garage which is round the corner from the house and I'd just have to hope it doesn't rust.

The landlady has said she's happy to leave or take the current fridge so I just assumed all would be OK as long as it was done properly and put back at end of tenancy. I'm about to be a landlord myself and I wouldn't mind something like this. (Obviously just taking off cupboard door and storing it not removing entire casing!) I don't plan on leaving any appliances for my tenants and definitely don't want to leave this there really.

Why wouldn't you want to leave it for your tenants - just curious? Surely that would be logical if there's an integrated one in your new place already?

Just because I know we're going to move again in 1-2 years to somewhere I'll be able to use it and I don't want it getting ruined. I also don't want the responsibility or repairing or replacing appliances for tenants. Trying to keep it as simple as possible.

There's a special term you can use in a rental agreement which escapes me at the minute but it's basically that they can use it as a gesture of goodwill but if it breaks you are no obligation to repair or replace it, and so they'd have to replace it themselves and they'd obviously be free to take it when they leave. Essentially it doesn't form part of the rental agreement it's just a bonus until such time as it breaks. We have a chest freezer and dishwasher under this condition in our rental property. It would probably be better than storing it somewhere unused but that's just my opinion.

It is quite common around here to have white goods in a rental. So dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine. Just include it in the rental agreement. It is yours but the tenant uses it and pays a bit more for the priviledge. Why would a reasonably new fridge freezer break? Or just plug it into the garage and keep it working. I do not think you can possibly take bits and pieces of fridge housing out of someone else's kitchen to house your appliance.

I understand what you're saying, our landlord has the same thing for us as an option apparently (its not all finalised yet) but I don't really want to leave my nice new appliances for anyone else and if it's a deal breaker for a tenant I'd rather get cheaper stuff that I won't be bothered about.

I've never had any built in appliances (apart from oven) so not sure how the housing etc works for them.
