We always find faucets dripping, toilets running, doors that have lock problems, missing screens, broken screen doors, etc.The next thing is we remove every garbage disposer and dishwasher and our tenants never complain.

In some areas adding a dishwasher would be over-improvement, while in others renters expect granite counter tops.Some other things to consider: How fast do you need that property to start putting money in your pocket?

After reading this a few times it dawned on my that this mentions this is for 3rd parties so I guess perhaps tenants and other vendors/people would not be able to hold them liable but the owner could still do this?

A new washer and dryer was added and the refrigerator and dishwasher was replaced.

I'm replacing the fridge and dishwasher, fresh coat of paint everywhere and some hard flooring put down.

@Dawn Brenengen Awesome!!

Thank you Dawn and Ishviyan.

If it's grease I've had good luck using either the drain cleaner someone else listed earlier or dishwasher detergent with hot water, let set overnight- it's the strongest detergent you can buy, but won't damage plastic pipes (can work on slow toilets as well, since it breaks down, er "food").

For appraisal purposes, an old dish washer is a lot better than an empty hole with wires sticking out.

I just had a 2 year old dishwasher go bad.
