The ones I can think of are: allergies (other tenants might be allergic)noise (my bird is the noisy one in our household)property damage (yes, the little dog who is from California, pees in the house sometimes..ugh)Fear (my big dog is 110 pound black lab) of Dogs/Cats/AnimalsFear of lawsuits if the animal hurts someone elseI'd like to discuss what can be done to alleviate these and any other objections as much as possible.  

If you need to replace all appliances go black-not as touchy and I like them better at no extra cost.

Keep in mind your business plan, if your selling this in 2-4yrs your better off going with the cheaper sheet option-stainless steel or black depending on what that market likes-you can either buy and rent washer/dryers to residents OR try to get a laundry company in and do split profit.
