What to do with this countertop

[Jay Y.]

I was going to get some new countertops from Home Depot but noticed they have the built in backsplashes which won't work on the side with the sink and they don't sell the backsplashless ones.  I'm trying to keep costs down as this is a C+ rental, what are my options?

Custom countertops?
Laminate sheets?
Painted countertops?

Thanks so much!
