The Range is in a 522 SqFt Rental Unit. Its a basic coiler burner electric
unit.

Suggestions?

Scott-

If you cook, you need to vent the smoke outside. If you boil water, it
doesn't matter

Agreed. I seldom, if ever, cook 'open pot', so it is a non-issue for me.
But OP said this is a rental, and sadly, many or most renters treat a
rental house like a rental car. IMHO, it is worth a few extra bucks and
sweat equity up front, to make the kitchen as idiot-proof as possible.
Big exhaust fan with a well labeled switch, washable paint, liquid-proof
floor, hard finish on the cabinets, etc. Anything to reduce the odds you
will have to do a gut job on the kitchen when they move out.

Absolute no-brainer in a rental unit. Outside vent a must. Always
imagine your renters are Neanderthals with little house training and
plan everything for that possibility. Too many landlords are cheap-
asses and then they whine about not making much money from their
property as it slowly deteriorates to the point where only riff-raff
and evictees from public housing will want to live there.
