Hi,
I've recently moved and the new place has an induction stove, which don't respond to any of my saucepans/pots. So my options are to buy the correct ones, knowing that I've signed the lease for 18mths, and they might be iffy with a normal stove, or to buy an electric saucepan. Which would you recommend?
Current Status: Doesn't cook, or borrow the neighbours' pots. Gets food delivered.
"and they might be iffy with a normal stove"
nope - any reasonable pot these days should be good for electric, gas and induction.
check the pan with a magnet - if it sticks to the base, it should work with an induction hob. If it does stick but doesn't heat, the hob is faulty.

if you are going to fork out for electric saucepan
might as well buy a set (couple of pans) that works on induction as well
visit myer now with their stocktake sale, they always have pans on sale then.
buy the correct ones
induction saves a bucket load of electricity vs tradtional cooktops
