Our son's situation is similar; the range came with the apartment. He mentioned it on his move-in list so shouldn't be tagged for it at lease's end. The building is about five years old, and I doubt they would have installed a used stove.
The trick to keeping the flat-top surface clean is not to let anything dry on before wiping it off. You have to be careful of the heat, of course, but I haven't burned myself yet. The stove came with the house when we bought it fourteen years ago. I generally like it, but one irritating feature is that the different burners heat differently, so you have to remember that medium on one might be more like medium high on another. I'm not sure whether that's a design feature or just a sign that it's old.

Forget the fruits and vegetables, I like that blue backsplash tile.
Our son's apartment has one of those flat-surface stoves, and
I'm surprised at how difficult it is to clean. Not intended as a
housekeeping comment!
