Should I ask my tenant to pay for this?
Hello.
I have a rental property that I manage.
Tenant complained of sewer smell coming from the basement so I called a plumber to come out. The plumber found that a cap covering the sewer pipe was opened by boxes that tenant placed next to it. Nothing was broken. The plumber sealed the cap and charged $79 for trip fee.
Should I ask tenant to pay this bill since the problem was caused by the tenant?
Thank you.
