Overweight tenant split a toilet
Let me start by saying we are not judgmental people; this post isn't meant to be shaming. We have a tenant who I would guess is up over 400 lbs. His toilet split the other day. We hadn't given any consideration to toilet weight limits until the plumber brought it up with our property manager. Obviously this is a touchy situation, but we're just looking for options on how to handle it. We're worried we may have to start replacing toilets every 6 months and are trying to avoid that expense if possible.
