This is my only dealbreaker in rentals. I will happily pay more for a unit with a real exhaust fan. Its crazy that we expect them in bathrooms but don’t expect them in kitchens. Health concerns aside, who wants their whole house to smell like fish for hours after cooking.


Mould will damage a house, cooking fumes will only damage the temporary residents. Smells go away by the time someone else moves in.

FWIW I think every place I've lived in Australia has had a vented rangehood over the stove, but maybe that is just blind luck.
