I'm moving to a place where has only hook-ups for a washer.Do I need anything special for an electric dryer or can I just buy and plug it in?What should I do?

First most electric dryers operate on 220 VT so you will need a special circuit to operate it on, and they are to have a vent. Unless this is your home, you would need permission from the owners to install a electric dryer in the home.
