have a rental house in a desirable area that is outdated. The kitchen cabinets are in bad shape and the appliances are old (white). The bathrooms need serious updating. My tenants are not reckless, but don’t take great care of the house......a very active family that clearly doesn’t prioritize housekeeping.
When I had my rentals that described my houses and my tenants.
Whenever anything broke I had it fixed as cheaply and as quickly as possible.
I suggest you do the same. Take care of the now, now and the future, later.
Replace it promptly.
This is normally done in a timely fashion.
Our landlord replaced ours,same day. Home depot has these for 350$ and 75$ to install.
I'll disregard the low rate comment for tenant as it's a moot point when the landlord is expected to keep appliances functioning. Unless it's innthe lease that tenant will be responsible?
Can you install the single oven, and pop the tenants a couple hundred bucks as a spiff for accepting the substitution?
It will not fit in the cabinet cutout. The only size available new that fits is a whirlpool (and some Kenmores) 24” double electric oven. If you remove the double and put in a single, the cabinet will have a gaping unsightly hole and carpentry would be needed (driving up install price) to create a base for the single oven to sit on,

If your tenants are already paying below market rent, I honestly wouldn’t be concerned with an exact replacement. Switch it to a single, pay the extra installation cost for the retrofit and additional cabinet work, and be done with this. The mental energy you’re putting into this isn’t getting the tenant a working oven. Double ovens are luxury, these days, and most people who have them likely use them once a year. The rest of the time, they are probably storing unused pans and baking sheets in the one not being used.
