If these are tenants, sure you can take away appliances and then they
can never call and complain the appliances don't work.


My daughter recently moved into an apartment. The disposal was old, loud and leaking. We
put it on the punch list of the things that needed attention and gave it to the landlord.
The disposal was replaced with a brand new (quiet) one the next day.

As they say, different strokes.


Her landlord probably realizes the more expensive unit means less
problems, making it cheapest solution in the long run.


It's also probably the reason that the landlord told us that the tenants in the other
3 apartments have been there for going on 10 years each. The apartment my
daughter moved into was occupied for 8 years by the prior tenant. His job took
him out of town.

Treat 'em right and they hang around. That's gotta be cheaper in the long run too.
