Tenant left appliances, question....

[Larry Chafe]

Hello,

My last tenants asked if they could leave their washer and dryer and refrigerator in the house when they moved out. I told them OK, since They are only 1 year old, and in perfect shape. They left the manuals and receipts for them. My question is how do other landlords out there handle appliances being included in a SFR rental like this?

If I include them with the rental, i would to have to repair the refrigerator/washer/dryer when they break.  Should I "give" or sell the appliances to them?  

Just looking for ideas on this, as I already provide the stove and dishwasher, but I think they are pretty reliable compared to a refrigerator , washer& Dryer.

Just looking for some ideas here maybe I didn't think of.

Thanks,

Larry

State the following appliances xxx are there for tenant use but is not included in the lease ad that you will not replace or repair them. If they break during the lease term, tenant will have to replace or repair at their own expense.
