🏢 Case Study: How One Property Manager Transformed Tenant Satisfaction with a Laundry Room Makeover
Property: Willow Creek Apartments
Location: Springfield, MO
Units: 96
Challenge: Frequent machine breakdowns, resident complaints, and zero revenue from laundry operations
Willow Creek’s laundry room had become a liability. The machines were outdated and coin-operated, leading to weekly maintenance calls and mounting frustration among residents. Lease renewals were declining, and the property manager suspected the laundry room was part of the problem—but didn’t have the bandwidth to overhaul it.
“We were losing tenants over something as basic as laundry. It felt like a small issue, but it was snowballing.”
— Jenna M., Property Manager
