Tenant wants a Washer Dryer?

Find out where the nearest launderette is and let them know. Washer dryers are notorious for breaking down you will have continued costs of maintaining if you purchase one.:j Trytryagain FLYLADY - SAYE £700 each month Premium Bonds £713 Mortgage Was £100,000@20/6/08 now zilch 21/4/15:beer: WTL - 52 (I'll do it 4 MUM)0

I think she will genuinely be having trouble drying the washing, even in a separate room.
I'd go for a separate tumble drier though. Our washer drier isn't that great. However, do make sure it is cleaned out regularly as I think blocked filters can be a source of house fires.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them.

The one thing I would not do is to remove the washing-machine and replace it with a washer-dryer as this gives you the problem about what to do with it. The other thing I wouldn't do is to provide a dryer either as that's yet another appliance you would be responsible for in the event of it breaking down.
I think this tenant is a numpty and a chancer.0 -
Offer to remove the current washing machine (if you have storage space) for the term of her tenancy to enable her to purchase her own washer dryer to put in its place.
When she leaves, she can take her appliance with her and you can re-install yours.
As has been said, it is her choice and the property was not offered with a washer/dryer.I am a mortgage broker.

Do you own the drying room? And could you provide a dehumidifier for that room to speed up the drying?0

I like the idea from Kingstreet! A nice bit of lateral thinking - thanks!
I could indeed remove the washing machine, store it in the drying room and then she would have the space for her own washer dryer in the flat.
I doubt she will want to purchase one herself though - she is due to emigrate once her current work contract ends.....
Could be the elegant solution I a looking for - not an outright No, but unlikely to ever be carried out either.
Cheers!0 -
I agree with the others - don't provide what she is asking for.
An alternative for her, if she doesn't want to buy her own washer dryer, is that she might want to buy a dehumidifier either for the laundry room or the flat.0 -

However how strong is the rental market where you are.
