Dispute about the transfer of belongings from previous tenant

Questioner

Good morning, I agreed on a price with the previous tenant for the takeover of items, including an electric stove. During the first viewing I did not look in the oven. I asked if it was possible to view all the items to be taken over again and that was done. During this second viewing we could not get the hobs to turn on and I could not view the oven with the light on. We then agreed on a price for all the items to be taken over, including the stove. Last Monday I signed the lease and checked all the items from the previous tenant to see if they were present or not removed. Everything was in order, except for the stove that I could now look in with the light on, it looks so dirty, old and filthy, while it was said that this stove had been used for a year and a half. The inside definitely does not look like that. I definitely do not want to take over this stove and I do not want to pay for it either. By the way, I have not paid anything to the previous tenant for the items. My question: what are my rights in this matter?

Lawyer

Your rights are almost the same as those of a consumer buyer of a second-hand shop. He is expected to thoroughly investigate any defects of the item. In this case, an oven. It is possible that the oven has indeed been used for 1.5 years but has never been cleaned. The seller knows this and should have told you. The price for the oven you bought must be equal to the current value of a comparable oven. I do not know if that is the case.
