Houses for Rent in Cleveland with Washer and Dryer Included
Many Cleveland rental houses include a washer and dryer, most often set up in the basement rather than a dedicated laundry room. Rent Finder Cleveland manages 90+ rental homes across Greater Cleveland, some with washer/dryer included, and every home accepts Section 8 vouchers — book a showing to confirm laundry setup for a specific property.
Do Cleveland rental houses come with a washer and dryer?
It varies by property, but in-home laundry is a realistic feature to look for in Cleveland's house rental stock. Because most of the city's older single-family and duplex homes have a full basement, that basement is the most common location for laundry hookups or an included washer and dryer, rather than a dedicated laundry closet or room.
We manage 90+ rental homes across Greater Cleveland, and a number include a washer and dryer or at least basement hookups. Book a showing and ask specifically about laundry setup for any property you're considering, or start an application once you've found the right home.
What laundry setups are common in Cleveland houses?
Because laundry setup differs property to property, it's worth understanding the range of what's typical before you tour, so you know exactly what to ask about.
- Washer/dryer included: Machines are already in the unit, most often in the basement
- Hookups only: Basement plumbing and electrical are in place, but you supply your own machines
- Shared laundry: More common in multi-unit duplex/triplex buildings than in single-family houses
- No laundry on site: Some older homes have neither hookups nor machines, requiring a laundromat
What does rent look like for houses with laundry included?
Rent for a house with laundry included follows the same market factors as any Cleveland rental — bedroom count, condition, and neighborhood — rather than a separate laundry premium. Per Zumper's July 4, 2026 report, Cleveland's citywide median asking rent is $1,250/mo, with 2-bedroom homes averaging around $1,100 and 3-bedroom homes around $1,350.
| Home size | Typical monthly rent range | Laundry setup |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bedroom house | $750 – $1,100 | Basement hookups common; machines vary by property |
| 3-bedroom house | $1,000 – $1,500 | Basement laundry common on full-basement homes |
| Duplex/multi-family unit | $700 – $1,200 | Shared or separate basement laundry, confirm per unit |
Where are washer/dryer homes typically found in Cleveland?
Full basements — and the laundry hookups that go with them — are typical across Cleveland's East and Southeast side neighborhoods, where most of Rent Finder Cleveland's managed inventory sits, including Slavic Village (44105), Collinwood (44110), Glenville (44108), Fairfax and Central (44104), Hough (44103), and Buckeye-Shaker (44120) — plus a smaller number of West-side homes near Cudell/Detroit-Shoreway (44102) and Old Brooklyn (44109). These are largely early-20th-century houses and duplexes built with full basements as standard construction, which is why basement laundry is the norm rather than a dedicated laundry room.

Do washer/dryer homes accept Section 8 vouchers?
Every home Rent Finder Cleveland manages — with or without in-unit laundry — accepts Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and is HUD-inspection-ready. Voucher holders should know that Ohio has no statewide source-of-income protection law and the City of Cleveland does not require landlords to accept vouchers; only a handful of suburbs (Cleveland Heights, South Euclid, University Heights, Warrensville Heights, and Linndale) have local ordinances protecting voucher holders. Learn more on the CMHA Housing Choice Voucher page or our Cleveland Section 8 guide.

Book a showing and ask specifically whether washer/dryer is included or if it's hookups only, and we'll point you toward current listings that match.
