    So, if they break, what happens?

    People need a fridge/freezer and a washing machine is obviously helpful if you want to avoid laundry places.

    Most houses will not have enough space for 2 of the above appliances. So the tenant is allowed to replace at their own cost and throw out the broken LL's appliances (after informing them of their brokenness)

    I can see a lot of deposit disputes for tenants throwing out landlords 'perfect' washing machine...

    The landlord is not required to provide those items. If you prefer, ask the landlord to remove them. One good reason for such a clause is that a fair number of tenants will already have such equipment of their own and won't want to use anything that's already there.
