It would depend on what the mortgage says AND whether the appliances were built-in (part of the real estate) or freestanding (generally not part of the real estate).

I appreciate your quick response. As the tenant, I am stuck in the middle and don't want to be liable, just want to support what is legal. As a tenant, I don't know who has the mortgage or who to ask without getting too mixed up with this unfortunate situation. If the owner does have rights to the appliances, do you have any feedback on the timing - do they have to take it prior to the sale or could they retrieve it after the sale and the tenant's departure?
