Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I put an amount of $200 that the tenant is responsible for, for small repairs.
Should a clogged toilet be included here?
What about a malfunctioning modem?
How do I determine who is responsible for what?
Thanks.

RE: Who pays for small repairs?
As a landlord I will pay for these types of repairs until there is proof that it is directly caused by the tenants deliberate abuse. I rent to university students and you would not believe what they flush down the toilet. I also try to inform them of why these things cannot be flushed and how much easier it would be if they did not need a plumber out there all of the time.

I don't get many clogged toilets, and when they do happen, my tenants usually handle on their own. Modem? If you are including wifi/internet access in the lease and the modem is owned by you, then yes, I would suggest you fix it.
