Garbage disposal totally exist. But it is another thing to be used wrong and break for a rental unit. Also, if it's an older property, I doubt there is an electrical outlet or wiring near the sink base.
I wouldn't expect to see one in a rental unit unless it's a new building.

They also really don't provide much improvement in convenience, IMO. Not really worth going to the trouble to install one for most people.

As someone who rented a lot of places wo them, I respectfully disagree here.

I'd rather intercept food waste and put it where it belongs than chop it up and pray it goes down the drain without an issue. If you think about it the whole approach is kind of absurd. Imagine chopping up your leftover vegetable waste and stuffing it down the drain rather than just putting it in the compost/trash.
