    And even if it creates a problem for your landlord only, it is you, who is going to pay for it, anyway. They will not just eat the loss - why would they? - they will increase the rent even more, than they would otherwise, to cover the costs.

      The whole idea of willingly causing damage somewhere and somehow not being held accountable for it because it’s not your property is wild.

      If you have your landlord send a plumber to declog a drain clogged by a bunch of grease or wet wipes or some other garbage that shouldn’t go down the drain there’s no way you won’t get the bill for that where I live.

      There’s renters protection but not against your own acts of misuse.

        “I’m not paying for that. I didn’t put any wipes or grease down the drain. The last tenant must have done that. If you thing you can prove it was me, you can take me to court.”

        They can’t charge you money unless you agree to it. Drains are always the responsibility of the owner. Ask the city of you don’t believe me.

        It also means that if the home is ever put back onto the market and purchased by a family instead of a landlord, that person will end up dealing with the issue years down the line. It’s just overall kind of an edgy, poorly thought out idea.

      Common misconception. If they could raise prices more over time, they already would. Costs are irrelevant.
