Hi sharon, thank you for your question. The Frigidaire Built-In Dishwasher (Model FDPC4314AS) is designed to fit a standard 24-inch dishwasher opening, but the required installation height is between about 33 1/2 inches and 35 inches based on the product specifications and installation guide. If the opening in your rental measures 31 1/2 inches in height, that is lower than the minimum height required, which could mean the measurement may have been taken incorrectly, or the opening might include a removable toe kick or adjustable legs that allow more clearance. In many cases, dishwashers also have adjustable leveling legs that help fine-tune the fit during installation. If your current appliance is already a 24-inch built-in Frigidaire dishwasher, most replacements of the same size category will typically fit the same cabinet space. However, the height of the opening still needs to meet the minimum installation requirement for the new model. You may want to re-measure from the floor to the underside of the countertop to confirm the actual opening height. — Reed
