Tiffany Colter Thoughts on washer/dryer
6 December 2022 | 25 replies
I'm not in Toledo, but watch the sizes on the W/D if you put them in.Some are more single person oriented, and some for more people.If you rent to family, a tiny W/D will not be much of draw to rent the place.If your close in competition is offering W/D vs W/D hookups, you will most likely have to lower rent and be sure you are renting to someone who can afford a W/D (STACK).1) As to the vent, check local building code and follow it--it may not be possible or it may be possible.2) Water feed hoses have a service life--if you exceed that, they may break and pour A LOT of water onto the floor.3) To lessen the likelihood of dryer vent fires, the dryer vent will have a Service Schedule for lint clean out (at a minimum, what it says in the dryer manual).You might want to put these last two on to the renter as their responsibility, but that brings more risk than if you DIY.Good Luck!
