Hello to all aw members,
if this is in the wrong forum feel free to move this thread to the correct forum, my question is as any members here that ever shop for houses seen in houses they visited a coin op washer and dryer me the only reason i am seeing some in this picture was because the house must of been rented by students and the landlord or house owner did not went the tenants to us or damage the owner 's washer and dryer so put coin op in there place? i am also including the link to the house to see the rest of the pictures CLICK HERE TO GO TO pierreandreply4's LINK

Good Idea
I remember when I was living on Provincetown the house had a Laundry room with a GE Filter Flo. Being it had a lock on the door, I asked the LandLord if I could use the machines. She said the washer was broken. It needed a New Fill Solenoid. So I replaced it.
Well, if any of you have visited Provincetown, a Washer and Dryer are like Heaven because of all the Septic issues in town and the homes are so close together. Anyway, some word leaked out that the laundry in a remote part of the house (I was in a Basement Studio) was working and there were 2 guys (Town Druggies) that broke into the house and were doing their laundry. I heard the machines running and when I went upstairs to the laundry room, all I could smell was rubber burning and "hot motor". They had jammed so many clothes the agitator couldn't turn. I called the owner of the house to tell her what happened and she had the machines removed along with calling the police and had these two idiots arrested for B+E. So, Coin Op would be somewhat of a deterrent from Students having a "Wash-in". "Bring a Keg and I'll let you do laundry". | ||

 I had a co-op maytag for awhile in my apt, then I sold it to a lady who was loooking for an agitator top loader as hers broke, she didn't just care you had to operate it with a coin. This post was last edited 01/15/2015 at 12:32 | ||

Yes, Tim got a point, there're people who invest in homes just to rent, maybe these same folks do own a complex somewhere and had some extra machines off the condo's laundry room. | ||
