Big problem today. We got a $1200 bill from the apartment were living at, because we caused water damage from the toilet flooding. The toilet was clogged a few days ago, but the caretakers came up after we had 2 inches of water on the floor and took care of it. I called and requested maintenance to come up and look at it and they said they would send him up as soon as possible. It happened again yesterday to my friend, who peed in my toilet. Upon attempting to flush, the water just came back up and flooded again. The caretakers told the landlord that there was too much toilet paper in the toilet, although there was none. This time the flooding caused water damage to the people underneath us. This is not the only plumbing problem we've had. A pipe burst in the sink about a month ago. We requested the maintenance then too, but were ignored. Now we have a bucket underneath the sink to catch the dripping water. They said we should have turned the valve behind the toilet, but is stuck, therefore will not turn without breaking. What I'm trying to get across is, is it really our fault that their plumbing has not yet been fixed, and are my roommate and I legally obligated to pay for it?
