Who pays to fix clogged toilet?

[Epic Fail]

Two cases:

1) Found nothing during unclogging.
2) Found something the tenant dropped.

Tenant...at least, that's what I've usually had to do.

1- landlord
2- tenant


last time i rented, the pipes had roots growing into them and the landlord paid the roto-rooter guy both times, but told me if they found a barbie doll or whatever that my kids had put down there, then i would have to pay

seemed reasonable to me

Yup. If you break something then you have to pay for it.

Stop clogging toilets. Break your shits into part one and deuce just in case.

I think in either case you would have a hard time proving. Most landlords don't want to own up to shit.

I remember I was living in an apartment complex and the Oil burner that supplied hot water to all the units had fire shooting out from a rust hole in the side. I noticed this morning. I called the management when I left home and they acted like they didnt' give a shit. Therefore I called the fire marshall and a fire truck came over. They saw the fire shooting out and fined them $500.00 and told them they must replace it. The next day we had a brand new Oil burning water heater.

If the management company was simply nice they would of saved themselves a couple thousand dollars and a public record.

Regardless if a landlord is responsible or not...if it's something the tenant did directly to cause the problem then the tenant is responsible for reimbursement.

A light burning out is different than the tenant smashing it.
