Plumber St. Augustine Tips

As a plumber St. Augustine, I get asked a lot of different questions all the time. Some of them are easy to answer and the others would take writing a Plumber St. Augustine Advice book.
(Does anybody know a good publisher?)

This simple question I get asked a lot.

Should the tenant or the landlord pay for plumbing maintenance?

And the simple straight forward answer is this…

You should not be responsible for any problems with the property that you are living in.

But sometimes landlords put in the lease agreement that it is the tenant’s responsibility. Before signing you should always check your lease agreement and look for the part that announces your rights and the landlord’s responsibilities.
If the lease agreement states that you are responsible for plumbing, or any other maintenance, you need to check with Florida landlord/tenant rights/responsibilities laws.
Chances are even though it’s listed in the lease that you are responsible for maintaining the property in livable condition it is not legal. Most landlords will pay for plumbing problems, unless it was due to your own negligence that the problem came about.

For example, your toilet is overflowing. Your favorite plumber St. Augustine comes out, unclogs it and pulls out a small towel that you had accidentally flushed a while back; the landlord can bill you for the St. Augustine plumbers labor.
You’re probably laughing at this example but stuff like this happens, some tenants flush baby diapers, small toys, plastic Q-tips, etc.

To make a long story short, if they can prove that it was your negligence that caused the problem the landlord should take care of the bill for any maintenance done to the property.
