Should I Provide a Washer and Dryer at My Rental?

[Thomas O'Donnell]

My duplex has washer/dryer hookups in both of the basements. I currently do not have these in either unit (I am living in one side). Should I be looking to purchase a washer/dryer for the other unit and have it installed? Or should I have tenants use a laundromat instead? I am worried that tenants will often break these appliances, but I know that they are good selling points with your rental due to their convenience. Thoughts?
