Reasons To Add Self-Service Laundry To Your Apartment Complex

22 December 2022 by Adam Robinson

If you own or manage an apartment complex, you might want to consider adding a room with self-service laundry for all of the tenants. Sure, this might mean that you will have to purchase washing machines and dryers, but there are many good reasons for doing this. Here are some of the perks that can be seen when an apartment complex adds a laundry room for its tenants.

The Tenants Will Be Happy 

It can be a lot of work to drag laundry to a commercial laundromat and those places can sometimes be dirty. Also, they tend to be full of a bunch of random strangers and that can make some people very uncomfortable in today's world. Adding a self-service laundry room to your apartment complex can help your tenants avoid all of that trouble. It will be so convenient for them that there's a good chance that this perk will prevent them from moving to another apartment. Happy tenants are tenants that stay and help you since they will be paying you rent.

You Can Get Your Money Back

It will take a little time, but you can add this feature to your apartment complex and get the majority of your money back, or at least some of it. You do not have to do this, but there are coin-operated washers and dryers. Your tenants will have to use quarters to use the machines. This can also help offset the cost of the increased electric and water bill.

Sure, the tenants have to spend a little money to wash and dry their clothes, but they get to do all of that without having to leave the building. It would cost them a handful of quarters to wash and dry their laundry anywhere else anyways. Then again, you could have regular machines installed and keep the laundry room locked, giving only tenants that pay a special fee a key to the laundry room.

If you are ready to go ahead and add a self-service laundry room in your apartment complex, you will want to begin shopping around for the machines you will need. Not only will you need at least one washer and dryer, but you might want to add a couple of folding tables if the room will have space for it. This type of convenience can make many tenants less likely to move elsewhere, where they might have to travel a bit in order to get to a commercial laundromat.
