tanent keeps complaining about slow drain
my tanent moved in about 9 months back, in first month they complained about slow draining in bathtub and sinks, however kitchen sink is good.
I paid for plumber that time to check and he did snake in.
house is sfr , ranch, built in 60's, so older plumbing.
now they are complaining again about same, that slow drain in bathroom, and garage sinks.
however toilet and kitchen sink is fine.
wondering what would you suggest, should I send roto rooter or similar plumber to snaje/camera in home or outside ?
there is a huge tree in front yard, roots ? if its root, won't it cause slow drain in whole house ?
who should pay for expenses and what might be the issue ?

It probably does need to be snaked again. You can youtube it and DIY or hire someone. I'd also give the some drain-o. This is a very insignificant cost. Going the extra mile to address it will help keep them happy. It's totally worth it in my opinion.
If it ends up needing more attention from the plumber and say the plumber finds something stuck in the pipe, that is a different issue and would warrant the tenant possibly being financially responsible. But for now snake it again and see if that works. As an owner you don't want plumbing issues going unattended for long periods of time anyways....
Good luck!
