Dishwasher or No Dishwasher, that is the Question?

[Rick Albert]

Hello Everyone!

I am building out an Accessory Dwelling Unit in Los Angeles and planning out the kitchen.  It will be a guest house feel but as a studio with washer/dryer hook ups and its own private yard.  We were wondering everyone's thoughts on how important a dishwasher is.  Really no more than two people can live there, but not sure if it is a deal breaker for most tenants.

Your thoughts and guidance would be appreciated!

Thank you,

Rick

I wouldn't put the dishwasher in.....one....it will use more water....and guess who will probably pay for that bill? Two....if they are not used to a dishwasher and they see yours there...they may decide to "try it out"....and if they mess it up....guess who pays for it? Three.......refer to number two....whether it's regular wear and tear...when it brakes....guess who gets to pay for it.

 Dishwasher uses far less water than hand washing.
