Tenant left appliances, question....

[Larry Chafe]

Hello,

My last tenants asked if they could leave their washer and dryer and refrigerator in the house when they moved out. I told them OK, since They are only 1 year old, and in perfect shape. They left the manuals and receipts for them. My question is how do other landlords out there handle appliances being included in a SFR rental like this?

If I include them with the rental, i would to have to repair the refrigerator/washer/dryer when they break.  Should I "give" or sell the appliances to them?  

Just looking for ideas on this, as I already provide the stove and dishwasher, but I think they are pretty reliable compared to a refrigerator , washer& Dryer.

Just looking for some ideas here maybe I didn't think of.

Thanks,

Larry
