DIY Landlording - clogged toilet
Today my tenant called me to say that I needed to call a plumber - the toilet was clogged. He had attempted to unclog the toilet to no avail. Needless to say, I went and unclogged the toilet and told the tenant that I am not their plumber for unclogging toilets and that there would be a charge the next time.
Questions: How do you as a DIY landlord handle this with a tenant? Do you charge a tenant a fee for unclogging a toilet? Are there statements that can be added to a lease that cover this?
Looking for ideas to improve. Thanks for your input.
