Tenant asking for washer/dryer in SFR Rental

[Dean Suzuki]

Hi,

I have a SFR in Surprise, AZ. My prior tenant just left so I am listing it for vacancy. We got a good application from a Military couple that are asking for 2 year lease but they need a washer/dryer added to the home. I am from a Military family so am partial to supporting the Armed Forces.

Has anyone encountered this scenario before?  I am debating about purchasing the washer/dryer (~estimating about 1200-1300 from looking at Home Depot) or potentially renting them from a furniture rental company and building it into the rent. 

 Has anyone encountered this scenario?

Thanks

Dean
