SomePeople may not think to get what we used and take a cheaper route - shoulder shrug. 

They still need the retirement funds and I shoulder all the work and risk since it is my business and my credit supporting the properties.  

You are correct in that by providing the washer/dryer you are taking responsibility for the repairs as well as shouldering an increased water use (which you probably pay for).I use a lease addendum so that tenants need my permission to have their own W/D. 

Seems like a great spot to rub shoulders with other people in the industry! 

Give them the option and let them shoulder the cost of renovation.

Then I did a coffee & donut run for my guys working on an addition & the coffee shop was teeming with young millennials shoulder to shoulder on laptops doing their homework/assignments ON-LINE etc because they closed the schools to avoid passing's on Covid-19!!!

Because you are the one who chooses to take on extra responsibility and own a home instead of rent, does not mean that you should shoulder these problems as well.

Similar to the previous point about rental assistance, tenants should proactively utilize these programs rather than hope for us to be able to shoulder the financial burden of their employment situation.

Shoulder shrug. 

It obviously wouldn't be ideal, but knowing I probably won't lose my hat takes a huge weight off of my shoulders.
