Should I put a dishwasher into a rental unit?

We are buying a house with a top floor rental unit and will need to redo the kitchen. Wondering if we should put a dishwasher in – is this an expected amenity, or a probable headache? Have not been in the rental market for a long time, so I don’t know what’s standard anymore. House is in Windsor Terrace, and rent on the apartment will be somewhere around $2700 – it’s a 2.5 BR/1 bath, 800 sq ft.

I always give dishwasher and washer/dryer (in building if not apartment) and charge more.

For that price point a dishwasher and washer dryer should be expected. Though a washer dryer is better amenity than a dishwasher. Who in their right mind would willing pay close to 3K a month and still have to schlep their clothing on a weekly basis to a community laundry mat.

Think of it this way. There is no reason for tenants to leave dirty dishes in the sink for roaches if there is a dishwasher. Dishwashers are cheap and easy to install too!

A change in plumbing fixtures requires permits from the DOB. It is important to file jobs at the DOB to prevent expensive DOB violations in the long run. If you have questions concerning renovations and such contact Direct Access Expediting. We also have a blog and social media pages.

In my experience as a broker it would rent either way, but providing a D/W will move it quicker. More and more of my clients ask about or expect dishwashers. I’ve received feedback on my listings that don’t have a D/W. “I love the apt and/or location, but no D/W is a deal breaker. ” I think it’s a good way to add value to your rental. If you can work it into your budget do it!

I dont know. I think you should talk to a broker and see what the market can bear. The key question is whats the difference in rental between an apartment with DW and/or W/D and without. I rent a studio in Carroll Gardens for $2100 and we provide neither. Not sure we could get $2200 or more with extra amenities.

At that price point, both a dw and a wd are expected. But if i had to choose one, it would be wd although a dw is a cheaper and easier option

> @
> Tenants I spoke to prefer a washer dryer to a dishwasher. Most won’t really use a dishwasher as one or two people typically don’t create that many dishes but they all make dirty clothes. Plus cleaning clothes can’t be done at home like washing dishes can

This is an interesting perspective, but my gut tells me otherwise. A dishwasher at a $2,700 price point is expected and I would think it foolish to renovate a kitchen and not include one. A washer/dryer OTOH is an unexpected perk, but tenants at this price point would expect to need to use basement laundry or go to a laundromat.

Tenants I spoke to prefer a washer dryer to a dishwasher. Most won’t really use a dishwasher as one or two people typically don’t create that many dishes but they all make dirty clothes. Plus cleaning clothes can’t be done at home like washing dishes can

Yeah studies have shown that dishwashers use less water than washing by hand; in some cases, much less. Of course more electricity than otherwise. But it seems a win-win. It’s not like you’ll get a big rent bump from that alone, but renters want them these days.

Definitely do it. And not the dinky little 18″ units, get a full size one. More attractive to prospective tenants, you charge a little more and actually save a bit on the water bill.

Every renter you ever have will appreciate a dishwasher. I don’t think washing all dishes by hand is anyone’s idea of a good time

OK cool – that’s what I thought. I was assuming we’d put one in, but it occurred to me that maybe that was one of those rules of thumb – “never put a dishwasher in a rental unit!”

Personally, I wouldn’t even consider a $2700 rental if it didn’t have a dishwasher.

I don’t wash dishes by hand since 1970 – and that was before I was even born.
Put some effort in and you will get better tenants. Remember – you’ll probably see them a couple of times per week
