One of them is NO washer/dryer hookups........
I'm sorry but I don't understand. Do they tell you how much and what type of furniture you can have? Are you supposed to do your laundry by hand in communal wash tubs? Or in the church owned laundromat?
I apologize but I would have a REAL problem with someone coming in and telling me what I can and cannot have in my home (i.e. your wringer collection)!
If you are in a condo/apartment I suppose I can understand not allowing personal laundry due to the risk of potential water leaks and damage from it as well as the noise from a spinning washer vibrating of the floor. What is their reasoning behind this or do they explain it?
Wow... you couldn't tell I have an opinion about this, could you? LOL
Kevin
P.S.... Sorry to hear your plans to pick up your other wringer have been put on hold! This post was last edited 11/14/2012 at 12:02 | ||

No W&D 
Very common clauses in multi-family leases, by-laws, co-op rules, etc... especially for urban areas. Here in NYC most all rentals and co-ops forbid washers, dryers and dishwashers though that is slowly changing, at least on the high end of things.
Around here the problem is the housing stock is often older and thus the plumbing cannot handle washing or dishwasher dishcharge. Maybe one or two residents but not an entire building full. Then there is the cost of water and sewage discharge which often are not bill separately to residents. Being as all this many developers and landlords of luxury and even those that pretend to be have realised that people simply will not live without the mod cons of W&D and dishwasher. When someone is paying >$1400 per month for rent you've got to give them what they want. Ditto if they are paying >250K for a shoebox of an apartment. | ||

As far back as the 1980's, dishwashers were available. Any window treatments had to have a white backing, per the lease. alr | ||

Pope or no Pope It's still a dumb rule when applied to your situation.
Shades of Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, where I spent a very long year of college living in dorms that weren't all that far removed from adult daycare facilities.
We weren't allowed to have refrigerators in our rooms because they wanted everyone to pay for food at the various school-run dining facilities on campus. As a result, many of us had refrigerators in our closets. The resident advisors weren't allowed to touch anything when doing an inspection, so as long as we had something hiding the cord coming out of the closet, we got away with it.
I've never been placed under such tight-ass living restrictions as that backward administration had in place. I bailed out of that glorified babysitting institution as soon as I took the last of my final exams.
Go get that machine and enjoy it. You'll not be causing anyone harm in doing so, and if they're too dense to understand that, you should easily be able to override them. This post was last edited 11/14/2012 at 18:29 | ||

Stan is right......
a portable kenmore set makes nice nightstands...... a hoover twintub makes a great sofa table....two of them back to back equal a card table...we had a conversation of using one as a recycle bin..... draw circles on top of the dryer, and call it a stove.....drop down the door and pull out a pie.....extra points if it has a window..... anything is possible | ||

yeah, definately go with an insurance policy, for any one out there....well worth it...for both sides....
I had a water line from a fridge ice maker split open, came thru and ruined the ceiling, ice maker now disconnected, permanently!....I would have had less damage had they thought to turn off the valve.... for this concern alone is why certain restrictions are in place....sounds absurd, but some people who claim to have intelligence, DON'T!.... just think of a portable machine, draining into a kitchen sink, and they forgot to take out the stopper or leave a dishcloth in the sink.....who's paying for all the damage!....it happens a lot | ||
