Tenant clogging the sink
About a week ago my tenant called telling me her sink was getting clogged after washing dishes. The water wasnt going down and she was getting dirty water backed up. Ended up calling a plumber to unclog the sink he told me it was that the tenant has been trowing away napkins, food etc. Down the sink. The plumber ended up unclogging everything and changing a couple parts and now everything is ok.
My question is do i have to take care of that bill or would she have to pay for it since it was her fault for clogging the sink.
I took a look at the contract and all it says for repairs is that the tenant covers the first $100 dollars of maintenance repairs. I bought the property with the tenant already so i have to honer the current contract.
Thanks in advance
