Talked to a landlord about his rental washer issues and it clicked for me

I was fixing a dryer for this guy who manages 12 units over in Oak Park. He mentioned he replaces belts every 8 months like clockwork because tenants just jam them full. Said he buys the cheapest belts he can find since they fail anyway. Made me realize I've been recommending mid tier belts to homeowners when maybe the cheap ones make more sense for rentals. Any of you guys use different parts for rental properties vs single family homes?

Bet the tenants think the belts last forever too.

Is it really that deep though @xenam84?

Right? lol like belts are made of magic or something, I had one last maybe two years tops.
