Many pay-to-use(coin or card) laundry rooms in apartment complexes are entirely contracted out to a third party company that handles everything; payment collection, machine leasing, service/repairs, etc. On the whole I think it's easier for them this way.

- late2part 6y agoThat's very interesting. In my MCOL of city I've been looking at buying some apartment buildings and many of them advertise the W/D in the building as a source of revenue.

- tesseract 6y agoThe small apartment building I live in is set up this way. I don't really mind, but I wish they would find a way to accept cards (credit and/or reloadable) rather than only coins because as it stands right now, I have to go to the bank and get $50 worth of "laundry tokens" (quarters) every few months, since I don't spend enough cash day-to-day to naturally collect enough change for the laundry.
- ny2ko 6y agoI just did this 2 weeks ago at a chase in SF. Usually I get $50 but I was restricted to only $20. Didn't really this shortage was the reason
- Larrikin 6y agoI complained when they would only give me twenty last week in Chicago since I always got fifty before and was told this was the reason
- bestnameever 6y agoMy apartment building recently installed payrange on top of the existing quarter machines. https://www.payrange.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/PR_Brochure_Laundry_April%202017.pdf https://www.payrange.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/PR_Broch... Only downside is the prices went up a quarter. It is convenient though.
