New tenant wants to bring his own stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer

[Gautam S.]

Hello:

My new tenant wants to bring his  own appliances (stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer)!

I already have refrigerator, washer and dryer and a new Range that I replaced.

Should I allow this?

Then I have to store my current appliances or sell them.

The refrigerator and Washer/Dryer are pretty old!

May be I can say that I  am not moving the new range, but they can bring

their refrigerator, washer and dryer.

What do you all think?

All of those things are high useful load things, if this is something you are not responsible for (meaning its their own stuff) you are much better off. I agree that you should have something in the addendum that they are responsible for any damage and also the removal of the units at the end of tenancy.

When you supply these items, no matter what we have put in the lease that says they fix it they call us to repair. These are costly items to fix and now you are in the appliance repair business. 

Best thing they can do for you is bring their own.
