Tenants need to be sent to a laundramat... washers fail due to abuse,
typically overloading... no tenant will treat appliances like their
own.
And there is nothing wrong with buying used reconditioned
appliances... they are typically better than new, appliance stores
take in used appliances all day every day and they know which to
recondition and which to scrap. Very often people buy new appliances
because they have to nave the latest to show off, often their old
applaince is superior to new, just needs a very minor tuneup... may
only need a new belt... $30 vs $1,500.
