    Depends a lot on the housing setup. When I was renting it was the landlords problem.

      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.

        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.

            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.
