Feel free to ask for details if unsure of what is covered.

Tenant Damages

---

Damages caused by abuse or misuse will be charged back to the tenant. We will rely on the servicing contractor to tell us what caused the problem. If plumbing gets clogged due to items dropped in the toilet (toys, brushes, diapers, napkins, personal items or feminine products), the cost of the plumber will be the tenant’s responsibility. This is not considered equipment failure. Unless the contractor can prove it was not caused by the tenant (i.e. roots in system, pipe collapsed, septic tank backup), we assume it was caused by neglect, not by a defect of the property. Clogged plumbing is the tenant’s responsibility.
