Drain Line Clogging and Water - Who is Responsible?
A tenant in my basement unit apt clogged the drain line (per plumber report) and water entered their unit in 2 rooms. The water entered via a floor drain that is not visible, hence not up to code. The Lease is very clear they are responsible for clogs they cause, damage from their use, cleaning, and water and moisture in their unit. They are claiming that bc the water entered the unit via a floor drain not up to code, I am responsible for the water entering the unit, damage and cleaning. Before I reply, I wanted to see if their point is valid.
Many thanks, David
