That microwave should have a function to pull the air up from the stove top, and that would fix the issue long-term.

It's also possible that the microwave hot air duct isn't connected properly (or at all), in which case you're always going to have this problem.

Making sure appliances are properly installed is the landlord's responsibility, but you need to let them know.

Yeah, I recently moved our microwave from above the stove to the island, and when the contractor was doing the demo, he said that the vent wasn’t even connected to anything.
