SURPRISE - Tenants Got a New Washer and Dryer

[Zazenski Garrison]

I have a SFR rental leased out to tenants that have been in the home 1.4 yrs and recently renewed their lease. When I purchased the home it came with an older functioning washer machine that has been at the property. My tenants just told me that they purchased a new washer/dryer and are asking what I want to do with the washer that is already there. I wasn't given notice about their plans and it was clearly stated on the lease what came with the rental. I'm considering the options below. I think I should go with option 1. Please let me know your thoughts.

Options

1 ) Keep the washer at the rental in the 2 car garage. It might take up some of their garage space.

2) Sell the washer. It would be one less item I have to maintain.

3) Store the washer at my home in case I need it for another rental. I already have limited space but I just wanted to list it as a option.

To me the hassle of moving a washer and dryer is worth just as much as the cost of a brand new one. If I were you I’d have the tenants sign and addendum agreeing to the removal of the old units that eliminated your responsibility to provide a washer/dryer. Then I’d sell the old ones on Facebook marketplace for cash only must pick up. Then I’d budget for a new set for when these tenants move out. They might want to sell the new ones to you when they leave for the same reasons...
