## What do you think? Question:

![Florida condo owner gets pushback from BOD on adding laundry to unit 120414 resized 600](https://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/file-2327462687-jpg/images/florida_condo_owner_gets_pushback_from_bod_on_adding_laundry_to_unit_120414-resized-600.jpg)

I am a member of a Florida Condo Association in Broward County. One of our bylaws states that new laundry facilities cannot be added without permission from the Board of Directors.

I have requested permission twice from the BOD to add a washer/dryer unit to my condo unit, and both requests have been denied. The first denial response cited that there are laundry units on each floor of the building. These rooms are maintained by an outside company. The addition of individual washers/dryers would take away from business, potentially jeopardizing the maintenance contract. The second denial cited that the building cannot support more laundry facilities.

I know for a fact that other condo units have added laundry facilities. I have informed the BOD of this, and they responded that they would not inspect the specific condos in question unless it was a matter of safety of life. Is there anything I can do?
