This guy already emailed me "his version" which definitely left out the parts where he was banging on the machines and adding lots of expletives.

"I was on vacation or out of the country and aint use it for 3 months; I aint paying;""The dryer takes double the time to dry, I want my money back or a new machine.""

I suspect it has to do with the fact that if you are living on premises then they actually do feel that you and your other tenants should feel safer because of imminent and immediate perceived danger to the person who as a financial stake at the dwelling. you have a higher likelihood of getting  "beat up" by the convicted felon that is living on premises and if you are the breadwinner/property manager/owner/money machine that keeps everything operating you have a higher likelihood of this happening if you live there and they certainly don't want to mess that up.Follow the money.....look real close and it seems like it is geared more toward the "corporate" folks that own a series of large commercial buildings.

Looks like you're using one of those handwriting machines that government offices are so fond of. 

Hello,I am in the process of purchasing a 7 unit building that has some old laundry machines in it.

One thing I have added is that no portable/temporary washing machines or dishwashers are allowed in units.

Would you have passed on the deal if it hadn’t come with a washing machine?

In handling an eviction, I would trust a judge in Sonoma County way more than some Democratic machine appointed hack in, say, Cleveland to get a fair result.  2. $200/month seems like a very low bar. 

Using bleach and ozone machines from Amazon you would have no idea the absolute hellish filth that once existed there.

To add to what @Dennis M. is saying, it's not really well understood in other places that in these mature Rust Belt MSAs dominated by Democratic union machines (and I say this as a registered Democrat), the best action for OOS investors is rarely within the city limits proper, or even in the immediate suburbs.
