I spent my day cleaning out the poopie pipes again. It is the single worst part of being a landlord. And it is NEVER the fault of the tenant, " no we have not poured any chicken grease down the drain" Well today, I found tons of grease a bunch of noodles, q tips, paper towels, and what look like strands from a mop. This all went down the kitchen sink.
The way I look at it is: when I handed you the keys to the house, the drains were all open and flowing, any clogs that happen after that point are because of something you put down the drain, not me. Obviously , if there is a root problem or something like that , then it is on us as landlords, but I think I am going to start telling my tenants " drains are not my problem, call a plumber !" Our one tenant has a clogged drain nearly every month, and I am always finding things in the drains that don't belong there.
