Washer/Dryer left by tenant, keep or sell?

[Jason Eiceman]

My tenant moved out and left their old washer & dryer, which work fine but are a few years old.  
Is it worth keeping them to add value when marketing to a new tenant?  
Or would I be looking at a lot of potential maintenance calls by leaving them?  

One thing I can imagine is having to add a maintenance item to clean the dryer vent out every year or so.  If you supply a washer/dryer in your LTR, how many calls per year do you receive on these?
Also where they are located in the unit is difficult to remove, so +1 for leaving them.

@Jason Eiceman personally, I'd probably leave them....mainly because (like you said), they're a pain to move, they'll be attractive to new tenants, and mainly because the presence/absence of a washer/dryer isn't enough to really affect my business model one way or another. If you're really worried about repairing/replacing them when they break, you could put a clause in the lease that the tenants are responsible for providing their own W/D, and that the new tenants can have the ones that are there--but that you're not responsible for fixing/replacing them...
