"You expect me to unclog a toilet?!"

Yes. That's exactly what I expect a landlord to do. And if you don't live in the same city as your rental property, maybe that shouldn't be allowed.

    I am against landlords like everyone else, but I draw the line at unclogging the toilet. It isn't worth the effort to report that and I don't need people unnecessarily seeing my shit in the literal sense. Provided that it is a standard clog and not something wrong with the toilet.

    I'm not talking standard clog. I don't mind using a plunger. But sometimes you need more than that and they should either do it or spend their own money on a plumber ASAP.

  • I had a landlord who wrote into the original version of the lease that I (as the tenant) would be responsible for any needed repairs to the sewer system. This was a much more extreme version of being unwilling to unclog a toilet lol. I said fuck that noise and he took the clause out. He turned out to be a good landlord and he didn't raise my rent once in seven years, but his tendency to just try and get away with whatever he could in the lease had me a bit worried at the start.
