# Is It a Benefit or Drawback for Landlords to Include a Washer & Dryer?
## Even we’re amazed at how consistently washers and dryers rank as one of the most desired rental features in national renter surveys year after year.
The one notable exception is with **higher-end rentals (top 20%)**, where residents often prefer to use their own appliances.
Still, for the majority of rental homes, offering an in-unit washer and dryer can dramatically improve appeal, reduce vacancy, and attract stronger applicants.
This guide breaks down:
- **Whether including a washer and dryer is worth it**
- **Which types of homes benefit most**
- **How to handle repair and replacement responsibilities**
