It makes me wonder how many people don't own washing machines. I mean I consider that was essential as a fridge.
I mean.....it's getting harder and harder to buy a house as an individual. Apartment living is very real. And if you rent in a duplex, you're not going to buy a washer/dryer.
So.....yeah. I'd say not owning washer/dryer starts becoming more common if you're under 45, and gets more common the younger you go.
Do your landlords not have any requirements to provide even a communal washing machine? In Sweden, and probably most other countries, the law says you have to have it within reasonable distance, otherwise the apartment isn't considered "livable".
This is going to really depend on the state, but no most do not require any appliances be provided. California does not require a fridge to consider the property "livable" so I doubt not providing a washer and dryer would make a rental "unlivable" in most US states.
