Everybody always presents laundromats in tv shows and movies as this sexy place where you meet horny singles who aren’t wearing underwear because it’s in the wash.
But in real life, that just isn’t true. The laundromat has angry people who don’t want to be there, and nobody EVER has sex, or takes their clothes off.
So why are laundromats always presented like that?
Do your landlords not have any requirements to provide even a communal washing machine? In Sweden, and probably most other countries, the law says you have to have it within reasonable distance, otherwise the apartment isn’t considered “livable”.
This is going to really depend on the state, but no most do not require any appliances be provided. California does not require a fridge to consider the property “livable” so I doubt not providing a washer and dryer would make a rental “unlivable” in most US states.
