What appliances are typically included in a rental?
We asked foreigners in Ecuador what appliances are typically included in a rental, and, if there is anything else included or not included that a newcomer would not expect. Replies included...
"Note it is typical here to not use chests of drawes, there are built-in hanging closets, built-in drawers, etc. Like in kitchens in US, built-in cabinetry. So for bedroom you need bed and maybe side tables. More of IKEA type units," remarked another expat in Ecuador.
"Rental properties in Ecuador typically feature basic appliances including a stove, refrigerator, washing machine, and sometimes a dishwasher. Depending on the property and the agreement with the landlord, it is possible to find additional amenities such as a microwave, air-conditioning, dryer, and even a water heater amongst other conveniences," said a member in Ecuador.
