We asked foreigners in Armenia 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:

"A typical rental property in Armenia will usually include essential household appliances such as a refrigerator, washing machine and cooker. Additional appliances, such as an air conditioner and television, are usually provided by the tenant.
