#16: Twenty Years Have Taken Their Toll

Some landlords have a very tough time grasping that electric appliances can break down when they get old. Just because something has worked fine for a long time doesn’t guarantee that it will always work. On the contrary – electric devices don’t last forever. Twenty years is a long run for a washing machine!

It’s almost as if this landlord can argue away a broken washing machine. If you got twenty years out of your washing machine, consider it a miracle! Unfortunately, most modern washing machines don’t last anywhere near as long as that. So, you better start looking for sales now, buddy.
