In-unit laundry is a sought-after amenity, and the advances in laundry technology have made adding in-unit laundry easier than ever. In-unit laundry can increase property value, reduce turnover and increase rent and resale values.
The Multi-Family Executive explained that renters from Millennials to Baby Boomers are savvy, well-informed advocates of sustainability, who will seek out rental opportunities that align with their values.
Access to private laundry is an important consideration when searching for a new place to rent. In fact, laundry ranked #1 on Landlordology.com’s list of amenities most desired by renters, and Landlord Property Management Magazine includes upgraded laundry facilities as a top opportunity to increase net operating income while keeping operating expenses at a minimum.
