I don't understand why your management doesn't address this; it would seem they could update their laundry billing. Or at least sell you some quarters.

Of course! Because updating the “billing” costs nothing.Quote:

That is not an expense I’m willing to pay for, Even though it is a very nice perk of paid laundry facilities. The laundromat I go to occasionally did change from quarters to card readers. That was a marvelous change! The biggest impediment to go in there was having enough quarters. I wouldn’t be surprised if they saw a big uptick in business.
I don’t want my condo assoc. messing with that. However, I do appreciate the heads up from ANM that quarters are hard to get. Looks like I should start a collection of quarters for the few times I use those machines in my condo building next year.
Our machines are paired with a app you download and add money with your credit card. I love it. Most of the old people in the building use quarters.
Why do smoke detector batteries always reach the ‘chirp point’ in the middle of the night and not during the day?
For apartment owners, it's a business expense, and isn't it inevitable? Practically everything is tied into one's phone these days. I'm not sure updating a few laundry machines would cost overmuch, either.Quote:

We replaced all the smoke detectors a year ago when we bought this place. They all looked really old. The mew ones are all the ten year kind so we shouldn’t need to do anything with them for a while. I thought we had changed both the CO detectors as well, but apparently not the one that started chirping in the middle of the night last night.Quote:

Our CO detector was actually doing 5 quick chirps. According to the manufacturer website that means ‘time to replace’ because it is 5-7 years old. We have another one downstairs on the wall outside the hallway where the furnace closet is. That’s our only gas appliance inside (hot water heater is also gas but it’s outside so not an issue) so I’m not too worried but I still will order a new CO detector for upstairs.
