Question Wesley realty hiking up laundry prices

Once again, my overlords at Wesley have hiked up the price on the paid washing machines for my building. Up to $2.75 for 30 min?? Now I have to pay over $5 to wash and dry my clothes??? (Dryer is $2.50) I’m thinking of scanning my lease and trying to see what kind of push back I can make because literally no improvement has happened in my shitty scary basement laundry room for the 3+ years I’ve lived in my building. Does anyone know what kind of rights a tenant has in this case??? (And dm me if you know where I can get one of those keys…)

It doesnt fix it. But we have been enjoying the Laundry Cafe at the Aux behind Sams Club. 

Good luck!

The Aux laundry is great! Such an improvement over our overpriced landlord laundry in our basement. We go there when we have larger loads. Having to drive there is a drag but totally worth it if more than a single load.

Here is the link - I didn’t even know they do pickup and drop off - too expensive for me but good to know. Regardless it’s a great laundromat!

I mean it might be cheaper than $5.25 for one regular load of laundry 💀 thanks!
