Should I complain to the landlord about the tub not draining in my apt or is this something I should be expected to fix on my own? Feel like lately I’ve been reporting issues with my apt to him a lot. First time renter so don’t know if I’m being a nuisance or not.

It’s his responsibility, it just needs snaked

Yeah you totally should. It’s a quick fix, he can send the building super over to snake your drain.

Depends, if the landlord is a regular homeowner and not large management company then try doing it yourself first. My dad is one and it can be quite stressful since he’s working full-time as well. Try some drano or snaking yourself. But if you got a super in the building then it’s his job.

likefunny

I’ve used drano, then lye, before but not sure if it’s safe on all pipes

I’d try drano yourself. If that doesn’t work then contact them.

Good suggestion but OP note that many rental contracts specifically bar drano because of the effect on old pipes

Yes.

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are.

They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.
