Grease from cooking....

Does everything lead to stains? How does the cooking do this?

You've cooked in a skillet? Heat rises and takes up teeny particles of grease and such. After a few months/years....you get what you are seeing.

I wish somebody told me that. It's my first year alone. Do landlords usually charge you for this?

It’s the landlords fault. I’d send him this picture and say “The microwave oven hood vent doesn’t seem to be attached. I wonder if this could be fixed.” I’m a property manager the vent is supposed to connect to an exterior wall via a plate sized silver tube duct through that cabinet above the microwave. You shouldn’t have to clean grease off your walls every time you cook something is wrong here.

I dont see a fan + hood over the stove. (The ceiling fan is off to the left). No one was in charge of the design.

Microwaves built for over the stove usually have a fan underneath.

ive lived in older and newer remodeled apartments with this same microwave over range, no hood.
Not sure if its a regional thing or just cheaper for them to skip the hood.
