@Jeff Cua I added a washer/dryer hookup in a garage/common area on a duplex a few years ago.To make a long story short, rents have been stagnant despite my opinion on increased value- at what I feel was a substantial cost…and I didn’t go through subfloors or make the living areas inhabitable during the install, nor have to repair it on the back end.Only you know your situation, local market, etc…based on my experience I would not do it again.Best of luck to you.

I really think we, as landlords, have a long way to go to improve our image….. to that end I find  stunts like the above to be detrimental to the long term legal health of being a LL.
