Most landlords don’t include the washer and dryer as a necessity as they do a refrigerator or stove so I would say sorry I am unable to replace it especially since she’s behind on her rent.

But, I understand the necessity to do so. 

As others have said, if people are willing to pay for something that isn't a necessity (which I wouldn't consider owning a home to be, it's something I feel anyone that wants should be able to have, but there are options for those that don't) then it's worth what people are willing to pay.As someone that lived in NYC and even with a good job was never going to be able to afford a house unless it was inherited or we came into a large sum of money it's hard to understand how NYC is so far down that list.  

That seems far and away the most likely explanation for what people claim has been happening at this point, and something I would most definitely investigate before I started thinking about the necessity of disclosing to guests that your brand-spanking-new cabin is haunted by the same unrest that haunted the old cabin that used to be there because of some ancient event that only could have happened somewhere else.

The reasoning here is that you will ALWAYS have a 'shelter' living expense... so it is not considered an asset WHILE you live it.... now... it can be an asset, when you SELL it but not while you live in it.... while you live in it, it is considered a liability because it takes money... real and physical money away from you every paycheck and does not make you money every paycheck, as in no $ hits your bank account every month from it - now gold, silver and stocks also don't put $ in your account every paycheck as you hold them BUT YOU DONT LIVE IN THEM, they are highly liquid in comparison and there is no 'Stock' or 'Gold' NECESSITY like there IS a shelter necessity.

So mid-term rentals are a rental of necessity.

But when gold's next best use it to look shiny, it's hard to hang my hat on its tangibility as a necessity to its value.

John:As appliances become more and more computerised, networking them becomes a necessity to provide firmware/software updates and to allow them to communicate with other appliances locally and the grid itself.Wireless moisture sensors can be had for <$25 these days.

@Nate Miersma it seems the cosigner route is a necessity in this type of rental.
