You've got to be kidding! Right? a renters vent

[bicker]

The contracts between landlord and the vending owner would take into account who is paying for water/electricity as well as the traffic and use.

And so they can just change their agreement. How does that protect the tenant? -- or did I misunderstand the intent of your statement in this regard.

Provisions for a laundry room are only obligations of a landlord to a tenant if the laundry room is included as part of the lease agreement. Otherwise, it is indeed subject to change, subject to very specific limitations, that do not categorically preclude the fee, but only delay it for a period of time.

I doubt they told them that they were charging $100 to use MY machines.

I missed that nuance before, that these are tenant-owned machines -- is that what you're saying? That underscores the justification for this fee even more so than the scenario underlying my original assumption.

As rental prices climb and climb, buying becomes a better deal.
