Garbage disposal - necessity or nuisance that keeps breaking down?

[Edita D.]

Hey guys!

I reviewed PM's statement and found 185$ charge for fixing a garbage disposal. Is garbage disposal something that will benefit the landlord in the long run (i.e. prevention of clogged pipes), or should we WITH THE FUTURE TENANTS include a contingency in the lease that "you are welcome to use garbage disposal until it breaks down, upon which there will be a removal of the garbage disposal without an installation of a new one". So the next tenant can use it up until it breaks down THEN WE REMOVE IT AND ELIMINATE any expense associated with it! 

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Our plumber says he LOVES rental houses with garbage disposals! 

There are none in our houses.
