Landlord or Tenant - who pays?

[Jonah Stavsky]

Funny but not so funny occurrence --

Im a new landlord and my tenants just moved in today. I got a call that the bathtub wasn't draining. I asked them to use the drano I provided first. They did and said it didn't work.

I sent a plumber over, and the plumber told me that the tenant just didn't know how to unplug the drain but there was no issue. They taught the tenant how to use it.

The tenant called me very embarrassed about the situation, I was reassuring that it wasn't a big deal.

And it wasn't a big deal, until I just got a bill for $150 from the plumber just for coming out. My question is do I just suck it up and pay this as to not start off on the wrong foot, or do I need to charge this to the tenant becuase it was there fault.

Any advice? Is there a 3rd option?
