Re: Adding Drain to lease? - Landlord Forum thread 334022

Re: Adding Drain to lease? by Anonymous on April 23, 2015 @10:21

                              
I have a clause in my lease similar to the one Katiekate posted. I also have the tenant's go to every sink, toilet & tub and run the water to check each drain before they initial the clause. That emphasizes it firmly in their mind that they are responsible for clogs. I occasionally have a new tenant question the clause, and I explain that if the drains are flowing freely when they move in, they can only be clogged by something the tenants puts in them. That usually resolves any questions. I let the tenant know they are still required to call me for the plumbing service, but they will be prepared to pay the bill at the time of service or when I invoice it to them.

Do you think since she's been a tenant for a while now that it'll be a problem to add an adddedum including this clause. I wasn't planning to do it right away only after a few months. She is MTM

    I'm the OP asking this.

    Just give her the required 30-day notice of change in terms. After the end of the notice period, it's in effect. Shouldn't be a problem. You might offer friendly advice that she put Draino through the drains every month--that's what I advise my tenants to do. Bleach will also do the trick.
