How would the landlord know the toilet is leaking? Is he responsible to come by every few days to check?
I guess you know where I am coming from. A toilet starting to leak into the bowl is a very common failure mode that is tough to prevent by preventative maintenance. It can easily be seen and heard if you have all your senses. IMHO once you take ownership of the property, it is your responsibility to ensure everything works properly and to alert the landlord in a timely manner if something is going sideways and hurting you financially.
$300 sounds like it has been leaking for longer than a couple weeks. A quick calculation will tell you that it had to be leaking at over 1gallon/minute. That's going to make enough noise you will hear it from upstairs ...
Just my two cents. All reasoning aside, I don't think there is a law that will allow your bud to stick it to the landlord.
