I'm a little confused on the setup - If the hook ups aren't in the unit are they in a space exclusive to the resident using them?

If it's in a communal space at all, I'm not sure how you could reasonably charge for it. That's essentially a resident providing a laundry room amenity to other residents as well as themselves and it seems unfair to charge them for providing it when you don't. If they aren't in the unit, but they are exclusive to an individual resident, then you'd likely need a separate addendum for use of that space since it is not part of the dwelling space of the resident and lease contract.

But if the appliances belong to the property you can definitely charge for their use. If you don't want to manage laundry per use laundry, then you can have a "free" laundry space and add to the rent for all units like any other community-wide amenities.

If any other resident can and does use it, it hookups putting a cost burden to the resident that is unequal to others potentially leading to fair housing issues. Donje Putnam.
