Clothesline for tenant

Minimum a folding line (wall mount) etc for a villa etc. The bigger the home the bigger the line. You cant have a small folding line for a 4 bed home. If its doesnt fit large sheets for a house its inadequate.

There appears no formal requirement in NSW but a landlord may not refuse a reasonable request to modify a property - a clothesline would meet that test. Three clotheslines would not. Question - who pays ? If a tenant commences tribunal actions for a omitted clothesline it may be seen by tribunal as a necessary item. Might be better to ensure one is provided

 

I've not come across a dryer overseas - they all dry their clothes in an airing closet/in the basement near the central heating unit.

 

Agree that you should just put one in. Our current tenants said they chose our place over others because we had toilet roll holders and the others did not. Tenants before that said they chose our place because we had fly screens and others did not. For the minimal $ required for a clothesline it's a no brainer IMO.

 

Wtf!?

Can we find those landlords and ask what they are thinking? New pole required to flush them out

But. ..on the other hand how easy is it to have the pick of the litter by installing standard household items! Imagine if you supplied door handles too!

 

My youngest daughter was climbing & swinging around the hills hoist pole yesterday afternoon like it was a stripper pole.
So I turned on the garden sprinkler on underneath it.
Got told off by her, got told off by the Wife for wetting the clothes on the line also.
Hope I've managed to change a career choice though !!

 

Interestingly, we don't have one and rented out our house without one with no comment from the tenants although it was only for one year. I also find them ugly and a bit annoying. I use a dryer sometimes or other times, will hang them on a clothes airer inside

 

For me, it’s the clothesline every time. Even in winter, a decent line gets the clothing dry in Melbourne.

What's more sunshine is free and sustainable. And it leaves the clothes smelling of fresh air.

What's not to love!

I like the idea of an airing rack on a pulley in the laundry so the clothes are heated by warmer air near the ceiling - but out of the way.

 

I recently had an issue with not having anywhere to put a clothesline on a difficult site.
After a lot of searching for a solution I came across these slimline lines you can attach to a building or a fence etc.. Easy to install, good quality and can be taken down or swung inwards in seconds if need be.

We picked up 2 no-name foldalines from Bunnies - paid $15 each

 

Just reviving this thread as I've just had a PM come to me and quote me $380 for a "Supply and fit new wall mounted clothes line. Large"
I get the tenants need it but that seems a bit steep to me?!

 

Sounds fair enough - Hills | Mitre 10

 

It sounds like something like this: Hills Everyday Retracting Clothesline 4-Line

~$200 for the installation then?

 

Dont you just love landlords who are reluctant to provide clothes lines, toilet roll holders, fly screens etc? ...

 

And going to Bunnings to buy, transporting it, digging the holes, mixing the concrete, providing the supports to keep it upright while setting, removing the supports ...

 

You wouldn't begrudge it for your own home but why do rental properties 'deserve' less?

 

You could always install it yourself!

 

You need to get the actual specs - brand and style before it’s possible to determine the value.

 

Wall mounted so no concrete...

 

Great suggestion. As it’s wall mounted, the OP just needs a Hammer drill or impact driver and a level.
