Tenant applicant requested water efficient appliances

[Sam Leon]

I have a tenant applicant who asked if I would consider replacing my existing washer and dishwasher to an energy and water saving model.

They are willing to pitch some $ in.

In my case, the washer was practically brand new (3 months) and the dishwasher is on it's last leg and perhaps could use an upgrade.

Have you guys done this and do you shoulder the cost 100% as a courtesy or do you somehow split the cost in some way such that they enjoy the newer appliances but you don't have to incur unnecessary expenses?

First , remove the washer and place a washtub with a new washboard , these save lots of water . Replace the sink with a double sink and explain to them the old fashion method of hand washing dishes .

Tell them as is , plain and simple
