Hi I just have a question and wanted to get some opinions
I’m a tenant in a four family house. The other day my downstairs neighbor called us and asked if we were running water cause it was leaking into her apartment. My husband had just took a shower but was done and didn’t have any issues with draining. We called our landlord who got a plumber and the plumber knocked down the wall in our downstairs neighbors apartment where the leak was coming from. He couldn’t find anything wrong so he told our landlord we must have had an overflow of water somewhere and that’s what caused it.
We didn’t have any such think that was visible to us but now our landlord says we’re responsible for the cost of the plumber and fixing the wall of our neighbors apartment. There is no visible signs of an overflow so I’m confused how he could
Put this on us? We’re not sure what to do as we’re on a month to month lease with a baby coming, but we also don’t want to be taken advantage of.
Thoughts ?
