My Toilet keeps on getting cloged up.. I have to plunger it at least 4 times a day. What can I do? Should I call a plumber or should I call my landlord to fix this or is there a way to fix it myself? It doesn’t overflow but it is backed up and after plungering the water goes down but it’s becoming a pain to unclog it everyday!

We have an agreement with our landlord to pay a reduced rent in exchange for being responsible for minor repairs to the house. What amount is considered minor/major?

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?
