I have a ceramic tile in my apartment that is cracked. I am about to move out, and while it was broken before I moved in, it wasn’t noted on the walk through form I filled out because I didn’t have electric in my apartment and couldn’t see it due to the lack of light. I was wondering if anyone knew of any quick and inexpensive ways to repair it so they don’t try to charge me for it. It is a multicolored tile.

Recently, the super has had to come to the apartment complex four times to snake out the main pipe in the basement. I now get a letter indicating that I will receive a separate invoice for the plumber as added rent. There are 3 other tenants in the building. I have been at the apartment for 4 years and never had this problem before. My question is: Is it legal for a landlord to charge for plumbing, when there is no proof that I was the cause, also there are NO indications of the additional charge on the lease.

I live in a apartment in nyc and I had a leaky shower. I informed my landlord who sent a plumber. The plumber informed me I needed to buy the part to repair the shower. It cost about 65 dollars. I was wondering is the landlord suppose to cover the 65 dollars? Can I withhold it from the rent?
