    If LL wants to give you stuff for free, there usually is a problem with them or a condition

    When you say added to the agreement do you have this in writing? If it was just and oral agreement you will have a difficult time proving it and if you take the furnature, she could claim that you have stolen it. If it is in writing you need to determine when the transfer of ownership is to take place (i.e. at the start or end of the one year tenancy agreement). If it is at the start then you are entitled to take it with you, if it is at the end you are not.

    If you are entitled to take it with you, you should consider if you actually want to take them with you, does your new place have a cooker? is it better than the one you have? if so you don't need to take it, also things like wardobes are they stable enough to survive the move? If you don't want to take some/all of them you could negotiate something with the landlord

    Is it worth the hassle to insist on keeping the items?
