To have my tumble dryer upstairs?

Kitchen is tiny. Before we moved in, EA said landlord would be happy to take out 2 cupboards so that we could fit in dishwasher and tumble dryer. We moved in and requested the said adjustment 6 months later. No was the answer. So we now have the dishwasher in the middle of an already small kitchen with tubes feeding through now constantly open under-sink cupboard.

The tumble dryer is next to the downstairs loo that leads to the garden.

So far so good. Kind of.

I just bought a new bike. Not cheap. We don't have a shed. I bought a robust and pricey-for-me cover to keep it in the garden but each morning it's still wet due to...I don't bloody know. The cover is definitely waterproof.

Anyway, the only way we can keep it inside is if I move the tumble dryer upstairs.

I work from home so I would only use it during the day.
Neighbours to one side are lovely with a just turned 3 year old but we would keep it on the opposite side of the house. Which brings me to neighbours in the other side. They don't work and stay up until the early hours playing an electric guitar, beautifully may I say. No issue at all.

I'm conflicted.

Not only that, I don't know if I'm missing something major? It's a condenser by the way!

I forgot to add that my guitar playing neighbours sleep through most of the day...

My dryer is upstairs. Its very convenient and reduces noise downstairs. I don't have it on overnight so I don't see s problem.

Ours is in the spare room. It’s not particularly noisy, I can run it late into the evening without it disturbing DDs who sleep in adjoining room.

I usually put mine on in the evening instead of the heating. It warms the whole house. Bloody new-builds!

I'm just wondering why I haven't done it before?

I lived in a house share as a student where the washer and dryer were in their own laundry room upstairs. It was mad convenient. Also, your landlord is a dick for promising something beforehand and then refusing - if you ever get told ANYTHING by an estate agent then make sure it's in writing. They'll tell you absolutely anything.

My tumble dryer is in my bedroom 😬

To be fair it is a big room and I have a little utility area with hanging space, linen drawers and ironing board. No room for it all downstairs.

It seemed a bit weird at first but I love it. Very convenient for sorting and putting stuff away and it warms the room up too.
