When selecting an house once you’ve committed to A contract you have a 10 day inspection period.

These things could make your life very miserable once you’re moved in. Good luck!
A microwave doesn't need to be vented anywhere. But, it has an internal fan and duct system that allows the cooktop to be vented through the microwave to either the outside or into the kitchen through a filter. It is not a construction defect for the contractor to use either option.
