I have seen the like at churches and other commercial properties. It’s a full kitchen, but not up to commercial grade. I suspect from what I have see , the sign lets them get away from having to do commercial kitchen upgrades.
Landlord? Or AirBnB host? There is a big difference. The text message implies this is not the recipient's home, in which case the dishonest clickbaiting douche who made this meme can fuck all the way off.
Sounds like a micro-apartment complex. They often have small, shared kitchens and really are only suited to making a small meal for a single person. Which is what this kind of apartment caters to.
I sent my son off to his college dorms and there a communal kitchen on the bottom floor where they have set off the entire buildings fire alarm 4 times in the first 2 weeks. Could be a similar situation.
Incoming Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's grand feast. All prepared the same day. Complete with "We put the FUN in dysfunctional" family members, all jammed into said kitchen area. Everyone must wear a fake mustache that can be twirled constantly, while mumbling mwahahaha all day long
My landlord raised my rent $500 when my lease ended, and added another $100 when I submitted the required 60-day notice to vacate. And they refuse to prorate my last month, so I'm paying nearly $2k for 5 days of Oct, on top of moving costs. Blegh.
Or one of those shared spaces at an apartment complex. The kind where its big enough to have a birthday party or something. Usually those have a sink and a microwave and just some outlets.
true, but my big concern would be that if steam is setting off a smoke alarm it needs moving, replacing, or both as its incapable of doing it job correctly.
“As in your own home” implies that this is not a full kitchen in a house. This could be a community or office kitchen and someone has just added misinformation for clicks.
That is how you get the kitchen area gutted, the average person cannot be trusted to clean up after themselves in an area that isn't their house and the alarm memo is probably a noise complaint waiting to happen. Again. They're asking nicely, don't be a dick.
They're asking not to cook large meals in the kitchen, and the only context is this paper. It could be an office space or hotel kitchenette where there's other peoole to consider. The cliche of cooking fish in the office microwave comes to mind.
Depending on the type of sensor in the smoke detector, steam can easily set it off. It's why some models usually tell you not to put them in/near kitchens or showers.
Looks like this shot has travelled around the internet but nobody knows where it is from. Given the line about "at your home", I want to guess it's some kind of temporary/communal space.

I would tell him to replace that steam alarm with a smoke alarm instead. Kitchens are for cokking meals. Especially if you're renting it.

hijindc
This is misleading. We don't know if it's a communal kitchen, an airbnb, or a private kitchen. Highly unlikely a personal kitchen though
popeyeNL
A Steam Alarm is not a thing.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Sure it is. Now go fill this cambro with steam from the dispenser.
zanaria
Uhh the kitchen is MEANT for cooking, dining rooms are "dining areas" not the kitchen...

Steam alarm.

Wtf is a steam alarm?
Imsomewhatofaboobmyself85
I prefer my food unwormed but that's just me.

Scum lord

Worming the food is always necessary when cooking.

vakler
It's unfortunately perfectly legal in MO, there's practically no renter's rights.
GNiko
"As you use it at your home" sounds more like this is for an AirBnB or something similar, not a rental.
joshuColorTaker
I wouldn't assume that. Many landlords forget that it is their tenants' home.
apostlepk

PineappleLoopsBroether
WHAT THE FUCK IS A STEAM ALARM!??
mkwai
Oh, sure. I'll cook in the bathroom instead. I'm sure it's well-ventilated, right?
mkwai
Can you help me move the oven?
WellBehavedZombie
If it can't cook a meal that means it's not a legal area for rent, which the tenants should be able to sue for.
Detacheddavid
Beware if a landlord implies what you rented it's not your home.
Housemaster
Mmmm... worm food
Andersen81
The landlord better hush before he becomes the worm food.
Detacheddavid
When you put worms in the food, I suppose. Like 'salt the food' or 'season the food'
SeeMyVests
We’re all worm food eventually

Does the dictation feature add commas? Also, “steam alarm” suggests direct translation from another language, and a few articles were dropped.
SillyBilly2
Odd ask for a landlord, needs to be in the contract. Cook away
huhsaywhatnow
I have a heat detector directly above my oven. Well, had. It had an accident. An on purpose accident.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Heat detector or smoke detector? Because if your oven is making that much smoke...
huhsaywhatnow
Heat.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Like you weren't supposed to let your oven get hotter than X degrees or something?
huhsaywhatnow
No. Just dumb design. Cooking chicken at 160, open the door and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
butcherfan0301
Move the smoke alarm out of the kitchen, maybe?
mikeatike
Its a steam alarm.
mikeatike
Whatever the fuck that is.
Oblok
An unreasonable request for use of a kitchen in an apartment, a reasonable request for a tiny kitchenette in a motel/bnb-like space.
Leithoa
If it's a space designed for someone to live in long term, the kitchen should be usable for cooking.
STRiPESandShades
Or an office
Flechet
true, but my big concern would be that if steam is setting off a smoke alarm it needs moving, replacing, or both as its incapable of doing it job correctly.
CasualBoulder
The way this is worded, which is admittedly poor, it definitely seems like this is a small community kitchen for events.
Mxlespxles
"...as you use it in your own home." Motherfucker because of YOU I can't AFFORD my own home. You think I'm paying you rent for fun??
dryrunner
Its more likely this is not a landlord, but is referring to a clubhouse or office like space.
Lulabel73
“As in your own home” implies that this is not a full kitchen in a house. This could be a community or office kitchen and someone has just added misinformation for clicks.
Mxlespxles
Damn they got me good.
idownvoteyourpuppy
That would motivate me to cook more often
DVSBSTrD
You like the sound of the alarm?
xj4low
Time to pan cook a steak and that suckered get smoky.

They're saying to not cook in the kitchen. Hell with that, I'd be cooking every night, what the hell else is a kitchen for.

Especially to worm the food.

I mean, you can do that by just leaving the unwashed dishes for a few days
SevenSsssss
Malicious compliance and all
mksu
I want to know what type of property this pertains to.
MatthewJohnsona
Probably an old house turned into a bunch of flats.
PoorBoyChevelle
Presumably one with a stove top, which is reasonable to assume would be used as a stovetop
GRaffted
Must be student housing with rent almost equal to a regular apartment but you have to live there especially if you’re a freshman.
Snooj
Somewhere that there are steam alarms. seems unlikely this is for a typical rental unit.
Cyclicus
Some fire alarms get triggered by too much moisture, dust, etc., on their sensors. Depends on their sensitivity.
greggor
My smoke alarms go off when someone spends too long in the shower. It doesn’t have to be a special steam alarm to cause this issue.
StillNotYouTube
This person does not speak english well. They probably mean smoke when they say steam.
Einbrecher
Depending on the type of sensor in the smoke detector, steam can easily set it off. It's why some models usually tell you not to put them in/near kitchens or showers.
Brhino
Looks like this shot has travelled around the internet but nobody knows where it is from. Given the line about "at your home", I want to guess it's some kind of temporary/communal space.

Agreed, my first thought was something akin to if not Airbnb.
cloverleafbane
