Yeah, but if it backs up any other resident’s plumbing, you’re 100% being a negligent asshole, even if its the same landlord and its their responsibility to fix it.
No. If something is to be upwardly fucked, let it be something that makes the landlord’s life better, not parts of your own home. Busting up your own place makes your life worse short term because now your place is crappier, and makes life worse for the next tenant because the landlord isn’t going to just eat the loss. They’ll either take you to court for it or just charge the next person enough to cover it plus a percentage for themselves, increasing their eventual parasitic load.

I think that’s hurting other residents more than it hurts the landlord, but I don’t engage in rent-seeking behavior so I can’t be sure.
Depends a lot on the housing setup. When I was renting it was the landlords problem.

Yeah. And if your landlord is a slumlord or is trying to kick everyone out, they aren’t going to care about the maintenance of other units.
Might as well fuck it all up then.

Godspeed brave soldier
It mostly just turns a landlord into a slumlord and gets you into homelessness with a summary judgement in a civil case for damages.
yep I’ve seen plumbers talk about how they can and have proven this shit for court
FR, the tenant who receives such notes and frequently gets locked out should be filing a Landlord Harassment lawsuit.
