Please post which state / city you are talking about. Is it rent controlled or not?
I would do the following: notify your landlord in writing about this problem. Give them reasonable time to repair (3-7- but not more than 30 days) let them know in writing that you plan on repairing it with a licensed plumber and will repair and deduct the cost. However, if you find out that you caused the damage then I would not deduct the cost.
If you don’t have just cause eviction protections then the LL could evict you.
most current lease agreements prohibit a tenant from adding laundry mechanisms to their apartment. you may not add apparatuses or certain appliances to your unit without permission.
