🧺 Laundry Basics
- Use the building’s laundry and drying rooms when possible
- Avoid constantly drying clothes in your bathroom (this can cause moisture issues!)
💧 Setting Up Your Washing Machine
- You’re responsible for installation costs
- Must-haves:
- Pressure-resistant water connections
- Check valve (suction protection) with tap
🍽️ Installing a Dishwasher
- Same safety rules apply as washing machines
- Protect kitchen furniture during installation
- Store any removed furniture in your apartment or storage room (you’ll need to reinstall furniture when moving out).
- If a kitchen cabinet needs to be disassembled or installed, the tenant will be responsible for the cost.
⚠️ Important Safety Notes
- Always close the tap when not in use
- Never leave machines running when you’re out
- Place a water collection basin under your machine (available at home stores)
- You’re responsible for any leak damage from incorrect installation (insurance won’t cover these damages)
- Always cap inlets/outlets properly when disconnecting (get caps from hardware stores or ask maintenance – fee applies)
💰 Professional Installation Option
