I respectfully disagree as well. I have done the same thing, allowed tenants use of appliances, but take no responsibility if they no longer function. In my case, they were very old appliances, with no depreciable value, and no estimated useful life. I also had other replacements, also very old that I would allow them to use, should one of the ones installed go down. If I no longer had anything available, it would be on them to provide their own. Again, I'm talking cheap like $40 units that are 10+ years old, where if they died, they died, no big deal. The tenants I had, who didn't have their own washer/dryer, appreciated it, but also understood that it was no guarantee that I would always have a replacement ready for them.
