Single Unit or a Whole Portfolio
Renting out one house or managing forty doors — Southern's handles both the same way: one point of contact, one phone number, and a plan sized to how many units you actually have. A landlord with a single rental gets the same $70/month set and free-repair guarantee as a property manager outfitting a whole subdivision.
There's no minimum unit count and no bulk-order paperwork — call with one address or fifty, and we'll build the delivery schedule around your leases either way.
The In-Unit Laundry Math
Industry guides put the rent premium for in-unit laundry at $50–100 a month over comparable units — and it's consistently one of the amenities that keeps tenants from leaving. Our rental sets cost $70 a month. The math does itself.
Unlike buying a new washer and dryer for each unit — roughly $850 to $1,070 for the cheapest top-load and electric pair at the big-box stores, before delivery and hookup parts (national online prices checked September 18, 2026) — renting ties up no capital and carries no repair risk: on rentals, every repair is ours, free, forever. The 10 PM "the dryer's making a noise" text goes to us, not to you or your maintenance crew.
Two Ways to Outfit a Unit
Rent — $130 first month per set (delivery and install included), then $70/month. 6-month minimum, month-to-month after. Machines stay with the unit between tenants. Every repair on us, with tenants welcome to contact us directly. Laundry on a second floor or higher, in a basement the machines have to go down a flight of stairs to reach, or on a first floor with more than 5 porch or entry steps adds $5 a month (the stairs rate): $75/month for a set. After the 6-month minimum, 30 days' notice ends the rental; ending before that carries an $85 early termination fee. Rent a washer and dryer.
Buy used — sets $485 delivered and installed, 3-month warranty. For owners who prefer owning the equipment outright. Outfitting several units on a budget? Bulk shop pickup runs $165/machine, $330/pair — same refurbished machines, same warranty. Buying details.
Turn Day, Handled
When one tenant leaves and the next moves in, we cover the whole sequence:
- Free removal of the dead or abandoned washers and dryers the last tenant left — any quantity, any condition.
- Dryer vent cleaning ($99) between tenants — cheap maintenance against the leading factor in dryer fires, failure to clean (U.S. Fire Administration).
- New set delivered and installed before the lease date — tell us the date and we work backward.
- Drop-off repair ($99 + parts) for owner-supplied machines that are worth saving.
Athens: Book Before August
Every student lease in Athens turns over the same week. Our August calendar fills weeks out, and we stage move-in-week deliveries specifically for Athens — landlords with multiple doors near campus should call in July. See our Athens page for how students, families, and property managers each use us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to put a washer and dryer in a rental unit?
At Southern's Appliance Rentals, a washer and dryer set rents for $70 a month ($130 the first month, which includes $60 for delivery and installation), with every repair free while the unit is on rent. A refurbished used set is $485 delivered and installed, or $165 a machine ($330 a pair) at shop pickup, with a 3-month warranty. Laundry upstairs adds the stairs rate on rentals: $5 more a month, $75 for a set.
Can you outfit multiple units or properties at once?
Yes — multi-unit rental and purchase orders are routine for us, especially before Athens' August turnover. One call, one schedule, every unit handled. Tell us your unit count and lease dates and we'll work backward.
Who handles it when a tenant's machine breaks?
We do — free, for as long as the machines are on rent. Your tenant (or you) calls or texts us directly, we fix or swap the machine. It never becomes your maintenance ticket or your weekend.
Should I rent or buy machines for my rental property?
Renting ($130 first month, $70/month per set) keeps repairs on us forever and makes turnover easy. Buying used ($485 per set installed, 3-month warranty) is cheaper long-term if you're comfortable owning maintenance after the warranty. Plenty of owners mix both — rent the student units, buy for long-term tenants.
What happens to machines when a tenant moves out?
Rented machines stay with the unit — the next tenant uses them and nothing changes. Done with a unit entirely? After the 6-month minimum, give us 30 days' notice and we pick the machines up free. Ending before the minimum carries an $85 early termination fee. And we'll haul away any dead machines a tenant leaves behind, free.
Do you invoice or work with property management companies?
Yes — we work with property managers and landlords across the Winder–Athens–Gainesville area and Gwinnett County. Call 706-995-6964 and we'll set up whatever billing arrangement fits your operation.
Do you work with landlords who only have one rental property?
Yes — a landlord with a single rental house gets the same $70/month set and free-repair guarantee as a property manager outfitting dozens of doors. There's no minimum unit count.
Buying Used Sets for Your Rentals
Rather own the machines in your units? Used washer and dryer sets are $485 delivered and installed, or $165 a machine ($330 a pair) picked up at our Winder shop. Every one is refurbished and carries a 3-month warranty, and we remove the dead unit free. Buying for several units? Call or text and we'll line up matching sets. See used washers and dryers.
How many doors do you manage?
One call outfits all of them. Repairs on us, friction-free turnovers, and a local shop that answers the phone.
