Is this a single 3-story unit? In that case, I use the clause from the LPA lease that basically says, "I'm giving you the property with plumbing working and in order and it's your job to keep it that way -- tenant is responsible for blockages and stoppages." Ta-da! You're off the hook! If you are on M2M, give the change with 30 day notice NOW. Otherwise, you have to wait for the end of the lease to change the language.

If 3 story multi-unit, then you should put a clause in your rental agreement that plumbing expenses due to stoppages or blockages will be shared equally by all units on the same drain line.

Thank you, I will review the lease. It is a single family unit, Tri-level. I take the advise of 'Landlord Protection Agency' but forget to read it. Even though I paid for it... HAHA Thanks for the reminder. Scott
