Re: Clogged drain pipe - Landlord Forum thread 247866

Re: Clogged drain pipe by Katiekate (New York) on February 11, 2012 @03:40

                              
At the time of the move in...I demonstrate all the drains are open and flowing freely.

The lease states that keeping the drains open and flowing freely is the responsibility of the tenant. Further, at the time of move out the drains will all be checked..and clogged drain at that time will be opened at tenants' expense.

If my drains don't work because of a problem in the pipes itself..then it is my responsibility..but..failing to keep a filter on the washing machine discharge and causing a clog is not my problem. putting diapers down a toilet..not my problem. putting garbage down the sink (no garbage disposal)..not my problem.


The landlord is not responsible to follow behind you and clean up the problems you create.

So, what does the plumber say is the problem?

If you rent out apts., unclogged drains can become clogged drains due to no fault of the current tenant. Diapers down the toilet, etc. not withstanding, of course.

Huh?

I don't rent apartments....houses and duplexes, but I am curious..how does a drain become clogged WITHOUT putting something in that drain to clog it?
