A Property Manager’s Guide to Smarter Income

If you're managing a multi-housing property, you've probably asked yourself at some point: Is this laundry room really worth the hassle?

Between broken machines, resident complaints, refund requests, and keeping everything clean and running, laundry can feel like more trouble than it's worth. A shared laundry room solution is the best option for many property managers. That's where laundry room revenue sharing comes in.

A laundry room revenue sharing program offers a solution: you retain ownership of the space, partner with a professional laundry service provider, and receive a share of the revenue without having to manage the equipment yourself.

In this post, we'll break down how outsourcing laundry room management works, what you're responsible for (spoiler: not much), and why more and more property managers are handing over the keys to their laundry room and seeing bigger returns.

What Is a Laundry Revenue Sharing Program?

A laundry room revenue sharing program is a shared laundry room solution where a property manager partners with a laundry service provider to install and maintain machines in a shared laundry room. The provider keeps a portion of the revenue and pays the property a monthly share, without requiring the property owner to buy or maintain the equipment.

Outsourcing laundry room management turns your laundry room into a reliable income stream without adding to your daily workload. It's commonly used in apartment buildings, student housing, and senior living communities.

How Does Laundry Revenue Sharing Work?

In a standard laundry room revenue sharing program:

  • The laundry provider (that's us!) installs commercial-grade washers and dryers

  • The property provides space and utilities

  • The provider collects payments and maintains the machines

  • Revenue from laundry use is split between the provider and the property owner

You earn a monthly income based on how often your residents use your laundry room. We handle equipment installation, service, and resident support.

What Do Property Managers Get in a Revenue Sharing Agreement?

Most programs include the following at no cost to the property:

How Is the Revenue Split?

You and your laundry partner agree on a revenue share percentage. In many cases, it's a 50/50 split, though that can vary depending on property size, equipment needs, and other details. Every outsourced laundry room management contract is different, but a typical 50/50 split of revenue would look like this:

Monthly Laundry Revenue Provider's Share Property's Share
$1,200 $600 $600
$800 $400 $400
$1,500 $750 $750

Why Do Property Managers Use Revenue Sharing?

Property managers choose revenue sharing because it offers:

1. Passive Income: You earn money from your laundry room without spending time managing machines.

2. No Capital Costs: There are no equipment costs to purchase, install, or service.

3. Happier Residents: Modern equipment, digital payment options, and fast service reduce complaints.

4. Fewer Maintenance Calls: The laundry vendor handles everything from service issues to refunds.

5. Reliable Reporting: You get clear records of income and machine usage.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Revenue Sharing in the Laundry Industry?

Pros:

  • No upfront investment required

  • Equipment, service, and support included

  • Steady monthly income from a space you already own

  • Improved tenant satisfaction with upgraded laundry amenities

Cons:

  • Long-term contracts may limit flexibility

  • Utility costs are often still covered by the property

  • You share, rather than keep, 100% of the revenue

What Should You Look for in a Revenue Sharing Partner?

When comparing shared laundry room vendors, ask the following:

  • How long is the contract term?

  • What is the revenue split or payment structure?

  • Who handles repairs, and how quickly?

  • Will equipment be upgraded over time?

  • How is revenue tracked and reported?

  • What happens if the property is sold?

Choose a provider that offers transparent reporting, responsive service, and contract flexibility.

Is a Laundry Revenue Sharing Program Right for My Property?

Revenue sharing works best for:

  • Apartment buildings with shared laundry rooms

  • Student housing and dorm-style properties

  • Senior living or assisted living communities

  • Affordable housing or workforce rental units

  • Any building with 10 or more units and consistent laundry usage

Even smaller buildings may benefit, depending on occupancy and laundry demand.

Final Thoughts

A laundry revenue sharing program can turn a once-overlooked amenity into a profitable, low-maintenance asset. With the right partner, you can upgrade your laundry room, reduce your workload, and generate reliable monthly income without taking on new responsibilities.
