Replacing appliances in rental

[Mike Lee]

The very first rental I have (3 bed, 2.5 ba townhome, B neighborhood), is turning over at the end of the month. The primary appliances (washer/dryer, electric range) are all originals at least 15 years old.

The washer/dryer in particular has been subject to a couple service calls and it makes sense to replace. Do I go ahead and update all appliances before the new tenant moves in, and should I go scratch and dent or brand new(floor model)
