Tribunal inspectors later found that while the rooms were en-suite, they lacked basic cooking facilities and only provided a microwave, kettle and fridge.
Replace the microwave with a toaster oven and add a multicooker and see if a judge will go for it?
Slap an electric burner on the counter and call it a day. A friend in Boston has been apartment hunting and there are so many without an oven!
The ones in the article had a fridge, microwave and kettle. No sink, countertop or actual plumbing, which is a pretty core part of a kitchen. At least the above looks like a barely functional kitchnet.
The UK landlords just slapped cheap, non permanant appliances in the room and called it a kitchen.
That burner is significantly nicer than what I looked at in Vancouver a few years back.
One time, we looked at a “2 bedroom” suite that was literally a tall, steep staircase to a door.
The door led to a small (twice the width of the staircase) space that had a counter with a portable 2 burner and 2 cabinets, and 3 other doors in the space - 1 “bedroom” the size of a queen bed (no closet, not legally a bedroom), 1 “living room” that was slightly larger, and a bathroom with the only sink, a toilet, and a 1 person shower.
We did not follow up with that listing.
If a landlord could put an air mattress in a bathroom, they would advertise it as 1-bed 1-bath.
The size of a queen mattress! That’s criminal, especially listed as a 2 bedroom.

Ohhhh, it’s in the UK. I missed the “a” there and thought maybe microwaves were being used to measure levelness or erode imperfections like a Rick and Morty skit. Based on that interpretation I was surprised a judge could make decisions about physics.
The actual title, when read correctly, makes more sense.
Microwave maketh flat.
