In the interests of maintaining good relations between neighbours, it's probably worth ensuring there is actually a viable alternative for residents to dry their washing.
Our complex doesn't have common laundries, but it does have a terrible south-facing drying area that is very difficult to access from many units. Especially for people with young children or disabilities. Then there's the issue of theft from clotheslines…
You could also consider installing a coin-operated laundromat-style dryer, which residents could use by paying for electricity as they go.
