Houses for rent in havre mt

Hey there - first time home owner and first time koi/pond owner. just bought a house and it came with a small pond with 3 koi fish, and I have no idea what I'm doing. The previous owner directed I take out 1/3 of the water, and then just fill it back up and feed them pellets. The water is no where near clear and the fish don't swim to the top unless I change out the water. I have done this once a week since I moved in and I can tell they appreciate the clean water, and I feel like I need to do more than what the previous owner directed.
I'm going to call some pond companies to have them look at the pond and the fish for professional advice but thought reddit is the best place to start, so I can go into it not completely clueless. Give me any advice you think is valuable, any is greatly appreciated!
Pond info: 52in X 20in 12? Gal Kidney shaped pond roughly 52in end to end and 20in wide, roughly 12 - 13 gallon pond. Deepest end is only 15in and the shallow end is 8in. There is a pump that brings the water into a waterfall that puts it back in the pond. She's pretty murky! I didn't realize there were 3 fish instead of 2 until I first followed the "take 1/3 out and refill" advice, which did help a little. It is in a pretty sunny spot and I live in Phoenix, so it's about to get hot. I put more plants around it to shade the fish/pond, but the fish have been in there for awhile and honestly from what I see are doing fine, just aren't thriving.
I'm now dechorinating water (by letting it sit out for a few days before putting it in the pond) and just brushing the walls right before clearing, closer to 1/2 the water, out before putting fresh water back in - also rinsing off the 2 fake plants.
What would you do to maintain it and the fish, what kind of pump/filter would you use - what would be your game plan for not only keeping the fish alive but to keep them happy in this lil body of water? I don't have a ton of money to spend on it, but already am pretty attached to the little guys. All advice is appreciated!
Thanks koi fam. 🙏🐟❤

Newish neighbor immediately sucked. As soon as he moved in it was loud sound system, frequent late night parties, TV blasting all day and night, slamming doors and cabinets, and then just straight up psychopath shit like using the blender and practicing guitar (badly) after midnight. I bought my place 3 years ago and absolutely loved it until NFH moved next door. I tried to talk to him multiple times but he's aggressive and not at all open to adjusting his lifestyle, he acted like I was crazy for suggesting that he should keep volume lowered during quiet hours. He really gave me no other options than to go to the fucking building manager and report him, which I've never done before in my long history multi unit living. So, neighbor got fined (IDK how much but I think $100+ lol owned) and now it's a tense nightmare living next to him because he has legit the most evil, sociopathic vibe and I know he knows I'm the one who reported him. I'm completely perplexed why people who don't like or agree with community rules sign leases to live in those communities. My building has posted rules against disruptive noise after 10PM, and straight up prohibits instrument practice if it can't be done via headphones. Everyone else in this building is chill af, respectful af, and friendly af, but it just takes one NFH to ruin it all. I can't REALLY afford it but I'm going to go check out houses next month.

Hey everybody, A few months ago I randomly began to have breathing issues. I moved into my new house recently (built in 2016). I’m not sure if this is a correlation doesn’t equal causation. I’ve been diagnosed with asthma, eoe, allergies etc.
I figured since I have a spot on the roof in two spots that does leak a bit, that I should do some plate testing with a company.
I sent it away and these were the results. An interesting note, where the water damage is (front door, and guest room) didn’t have the most colonies.
It says on the report anything above 9 is highly likely to cause breathing issues.
I guess my question is, should I truly be concerned based off of this test, also how would I even go about remediating this, given that every room I tested seemed to pop with more than what is considered okay. Also is there any species that is concerning on the report?
Thank you all for any help!

I have been on xanax everyday for 2 years and I want to get off of it. Since I was 9 years old Ive dealt with PNES seizures, generalized anxiety, and severe panic attacks. I’ve been given Ativan, and a few different SSRIs I don’t remember the names of. When I turned 18 (2019) I was given a prescription of 1mg Xanax tablets to take in .5mg doses as needed. It worked wonderfully in the beginning and I felt like a normal person for once in my life. I would really only take .5mg to .75mg once every few days and sometimes didn’t need it for a week. But i eventually developed a habit of taking them when my anxiety wasn’t even that bad, and in whole 1mg-2mg doses. I had been taking around 2mg a day for 3 weeks in october of 2020 and decided then that I was gonna stop taking them. I had the worst rebound anxiety I had ever experienced while driving 40 miles home from a friends house and had no Xanax in the car I was driving. Ever since that night, I have been fixated on not feeling that rebound anxiety again. It’s now November 2020 and I’m taking .25mg of xanax a day thinking I’d stop after a month of taking only .25mg a day. I would wake up in the middle of the night shaking with panic and the feeling of impending doom, and not long after these attacks worked my way up to taking 1.5mg a day. I’ve gone to therapy and talked with my family and girlfriend about all of this and have worked my way down to now .625mg a day and still struggle with this fear of being without these pills.
I’m sorry if my benzo story was all over the place. I know at this point it’s probably mind over matter.
Is there any advice for getting passed this fear of being without them and fear of fear itself?

This happened about three years ago, summer 2020. It was the height of the pandemic.
I (now 23f) met a guy on Tinder and we immediately fell for each other, even though we couldn’t meet due to the pandemic.
About a month into us talking every single day, he “coincidentally” was by my town. I decided I was going to finally meet him, although I was super scared (because I was afraid of getting sick, because it’s scary to meet a guy from online, because we really liked each other, all the reasons).
So, I decided I was going to go drive to get myself some Taco Bell and he would meet me there. We’d finally meet for the first time. But I didn’t want either of us to get out of our cars because I was paranoid about COVID.
So, I get to Taco Bell and pull into the drive thru. The line was super long, so I texted my dad that it’d be awhile (my mom doesn’t know how to text). It was about 11pm.
So after about 20 min, I finish getting my food and finally pull up in the car next to him. We both rolled down our windows and had the whole “omg you’re real” moment. But I was skeptical, because he looked super short. He said it was because he was in a sports car, and got out of the car to show me that he was indeed tall. He starts walking towards my car door, and I grab the door handle to get out and give him a hug.
As I look left to grab my door handle, I see it. My mother’s car zipping into the parking lot, and my Tinder date’s hand on my door handle.
I scream “THAT’S MY MOM” and start to freak out. He turned around and pretended to walk into the Taco Bell, even though the inside was closed due to COVID.
Mind you, my mom and I are NOT close. She, luckily oblivious, pulls up next to me and starts screaming at me for not being home yet (it had been 30 min). I got so mad and said I texted my dad, but his phone was off. I asked my mom why she didn’t just call me, and she said she didn’t want me to answer my phone if I was driving.
I asked her what she expected to do if I wasn’t there and was, say, driving home, or still in the drive thru. She didn’t have an answer. I was 20 at the time.
I told her that I parked because I wanted to eat in the car. I had left the house maybe twice in the previous 4 months, and genuinely needed space from that house (as this post can probably explain why). I have never done anything wrong or anything for her to not trust me, she’s just crazy.
So anyway, my Tinder date sneaks back into his car and pretends that he’s just another random customer. My mom screams at me that I need to come home now. I’m sobbing my eyes out. My mom leaves the parking lot and obviously expects me to follow her home.
I look over at my Tinder date, who’s in his car, and say “I have to go home, I’m so sorry.” And drive home through my sobs. I never got my hug.
As I’m driving away, I can tell he has his head in his hands and I think he was crying too. We were already basically in love with each other at this time, and our first meetup was ruined.
I got home, and my brother was waiting up for me in the living room. My god, they acted like I was gone for three days. I was home in less than an hour. I left my house at 11pm and was home by like 11:40pm. I don’t know why my brother didn’t try to text me. I had been checking my phone meticulously the entire time in case anyone texted me. Before the pandemic, I would go out all the time until 3am and my mom would always call to check on me. I don’t know why this time she decided she was just gonna show up.
My date got home, and I called him to apologize. I fully expected to never hear from him again. I had told him that my mom is crazy, but he finally got the dose of it. To my surprise, he stayed, but we didn’t properly meet again for a whole month after that.
Fast forward three years and we’re still together. My mom still doesn’t know and will never know. But yeah, I usually lie about where I am nowadays.
TL;DR I went to Taco Bell to go meet up with a tinder date, but my mom didn’t like that I was gone for 30 minutes, so she followed me and almost caught me and him together.

This story is about my girlfriend and I have her permission to post this here, she helped me write it, as we have talked about this and not only does she want to hear the responses but I am also curious considering all of this remained between us until now.
My girlfriend of several years was molested by her Dad and her Mom growing up. It started before she can even remember and went on until she left for college, where we met her sophomore year.
According to her, her mother and father were always very kind, sweet, affectionate, never violent, never cruel, and treated their sexual time together as basically just another aspect of being a family.
She knew that she couldn’t tell anyone because according to them “not everyone loves their children the same way we love you and people don’t understand” along with more explanation but you get the point.
So she kind of had this dual life where she would go to school and extracurricular stuff as she got older but no one knew about any of it. She never told anyone out of fear they wouldn’t understand or her parents would get into trouble.
After we met and things got serious she disclosed it to me at a point she was comfortable and has told me repeatedly that it was the best thing that ever happened to her. She said it made her closer to her parents, taught her about sex and intimacy with people who will always love her, set a high bar for all future sexual/romantic relationships, and as much as it shocked me to hear the details of how she was raised (because a LOT happened early on) the most shocking part to me is how she sees all of it as a positive, and the more I hear her out the more it makes sense.
Now I’m feeling conflicted because it goes against everything I have been taught and told about it. She even referenced a meta study done that heavily disputed the connection between CSA and trauma.
All of this to say, how normal is this for people? Is she some rare case where Al though what happened was obviously bad due to moral/ethical reasons, it was “good” for her?
I’ve met her parents and they are the nicest and most friendly people. I grew up in a very sex-negative house where I was basically told masturbation was something the devil made you do, so our childhoods are basically polar opposites.
Anyways I hope the community can provide some feedback because she has been struggling with feeling isolated with these feelings for years. She doesn’t want to see a therapist because she thinks they will just gaslight her into feeling bad about something that in her mind has only benefited her. But it has taken a toll on her feeling this way and not being able to relate to anyone or talk about it outside of her family.
I will end by saying both of us acknowledge for a lot of people it’s obviously an easily “that is horrific” case where there is violence, force, coercion, fear, blackmail, etc. She wanted me to be clear, as do I, that in no way is this implying that it’s somehow okay or that other people’s trauma isn’t valid.

For people saying "If Rinosh knew about the backlash, why did he do all those things with Sruthi":
Until rajith came and told them very directly and indirectly how their relationship is viewed outside, even though they knew they could get some backlash, they didn't expect it to be THIS much. Until that moment, all three of them, especially Sruthi, was prepping herself for questions from housemates or the audience regarding their dynamics. Not even the khal Nayak vishnu brought up this "sex talk" allegations while she was around, because I'm pretty sure he knows it would immediately turn against him since Sruthi will NOT keep quiet.
This was very evident in the press meet, when one of the questions subtely hinted how sruthi, midhun, rinosh might be using each other for survival and she gave a very well thought out, prepared answer (almost anticipating it) saying she's not an idiot and knows there are cameras watching her and she also knows that they need to entertain the audiences.
She had once told marashiju in the smoking room that she knows what audiences want from shows like this : friendships, love, drama, fights, and she will give it to them. She treats BB like a job above all else and a platform for exposure. When I first heard her say this, I was a little annoyed because this was the first time someone very blatantly said they they are "making" content for the viewers so felt it was very ironic considering the tagine of the season is "Battle Of The Originals". But after Sruthi openly and further clarified this viewpoint in the press meet, my mind changed. Her being so transparent about it actually made her more original than most people there.
Maybe Sruthi thought since midhun/rinosh might be popular outside, people won't judge them too harshly. She miscalculated here.
Her affections for midhun/rinosh may be true, she probably did like them like brothers, but it wasn't until rajiths entry that they all collectively realized that the backlash and how their relationship was represented was even more worse than they could have imagined.
Even then, Sruthi was the one who told both rinosh and midhun that they should keep distance from HER in order to not get more negative, because again, everyone knows it's always the woman that will get hit the most. It was at THIS point that Rinosh/Midhun truly started understanding the gravity of the situation and like Sruthi suggested, kept a distance from her. Unfortunately Sruthi was evicted that same week (even though she was performing very well)
A lot of people were saying rinosh/midhun didn't cry when sruthi left, and I think it's because all 3 of them sort of anticipated this after the challengers visit. This is exactly why they both immediately went up to a camera and asked the audience to be kind to Sruthi.
Vishnu bringing the topics back up again, especially in a sexual manner, triggered those fears in Rinosh again. He knows he didnt do anything wrong and everything was consensual with Sruthi, but he also knows that the general public wont feel the same way he does, and it could end up hurting his family and Sruthis family. He keeps bringing up the harsh and cruel cyberbullying that contestants have faced in previous seasons as reasons for his stress.
We as the audience, knows that Sruthi and her family are handling the backlash brilliantly, because again, Sruthi anticipated this. But rinosh does not know that, and doesn't want to be the reason to cause a married woman's named to be dragged again on this public platform, especially for her association with HIM.
The man has had enough of the house, it's toxicity, and the lengths people go to to win the cup. He just came for the money and exposure, and clearly doesn't think it's worth it anymore. He said "I want to be evicted this week" in his first confession room visit, which I think was a direct appeal to both BB and his fans, to let him go. When he realized BB won't let him leave, the man just went radio silent. He isn't involved in tasks, just does his house chores, and only talks to midhun, junaiz ans sobha. Maybe he hopes that audience will see him being so inactive and vote him out, who knows
He's only gotten angry so far on behalf of other people (midhun and sruthi, getting other peoples gems stolen from him, sagar potentially hurting others with a block of ice) which I think vishnu picked up on, so chances are he might keep dragging in other people to trigger rinosh.

Verses for today:
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: But he that hateth reproof is brutish. A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: But a man of wicked devices will he condemn. A man shall not be established by wickedness: But the root of the righteous shall not be moved. The thoughts of the righteous are right: But the counsels of the wicked are deceit. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: But the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. The wicked are overthrown, and are not: But the house of the righteous shall stand. A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better Than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: But he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. The wicked desireth the net of evil men: But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: But the just shall come out of trouble. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: And the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
Proverbs 12:1‭-‬3‭, ‬5‭-‬14 KJV
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us, not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory. Forever and ever. In Jesus Christ's Holy name I pray.
Amen.
Father, help me put on the Full Armor of God & protect me & my family from the wiles of the evil one.
Halleluyah!

Got super high and randomly found this. Blew my mind thinking how we waste money on things like completely tearing down mountains of the Appalachia just to literally BYPASS a small town so you can get to a bigger town 30 minutes quicker.
Millions of dollars spent. A few houses displaced. Miles of old mountains destroy. A small town now even more secluded. All for the sake of 30 minutes of time you’d spend comfy in a vehicle you spent a years salary on but want to be in as little as possible.

I’m usually a very cool headed, positive person, but it’s really hard right now.
My dad has covid, and so does my brother. My brothers a senior in high school, he literally walks for graduation next Thursday. But chances are, he might not recover in time to walk. All the events planned next week for him have to be cancelled : ( his online best friend was suppose to fly over and stay with us too, along with our grandparents. I can’t imagine how he’s feeling, why’d it have to be now? He’s avoided it for three years and yet somehow NOW he catches it. Right on the week of his grad : /
On top of all this, my sister is immunocompromised. If shes to get sick her body will struggle a lot. How is she suppose to be safe in a house with 2 covid patients?
Oh and my mom just dropped this bomb on me. My grandma’s cancer came back.
So..
theres a lot on my mind right now.
I feel fine but I might end up catching covid too. All of this is weighing on my mind a lot. I will keep trying to be positive despite it all. I always tell myself that “It always works out” and I really will try to believe it this time.

So I'm pushing for a FIRE number that is over and above my current "expenses".
More about my current situation:

• Low 30's
• High income (for my country)
• Saving/investment rate of roughly 60% off net salary
• Spending budget each month to do with whatever I want

I do have room to dial things back but I believe I will sacrifice quality of life too much. I'm fine with delaying early or partial retirement a bit and be able to get out and do a few things now or purchase some things I enjoy. But this is not on the level of doing a couple of international holidays a year or buying a new car every few years. But if I want to go do some local trip or visits some nice fine dining restaurant then I'm not going to think twice about it if my spending budget covers it.
Using a 3% withdrawal rate and an assumed future net return of 4% above inflation (Global diversified), I should be able FIRE in about 15 years with my capital investments.
But in 15 years life will be different and expenses will be different. So I'm currently targeting a value of 20% greater than current expenses which will push me back another couple of years. For me its because of kids and medical assumptions.
But at that time I would also be in a completely different financial position potentially. I would have a paid off house, maybe do less and spend less. Along the way maybe investing more and more can push the date closer and closer. Partial FIRE is also an option to reduce work to contract or half day etc. and enjoy more of life sooner. Although I would reduce withdrawal rate even more then or shift to coast fire approach.
So to the point of my rambling, how are FIRE goals 15-20 years out really realistic to try and determine due too life changes, kids, medical risks etc.? What have done to try and get a more accurate and realistic FIRE goal/number?

This afternoon I was in the library getting some study done, when suddenly Supercut began playing during a shuffling of my library. I had my AirPods Max on, head tracking, noise cancellation, and I swear an out-of-body experience happened to me: Ella and the instruments were all around me, the lyrics made loads more sense after not seeing close friends for over 6 months, I got somewhat weepy halfway through and wanted to burst out running and crying towards [PERSON]'s house. Then someone peeked over with a confused head and merely said "sorry, it's been a long day".
There truly is nothing quite like Atmos on her tracks, and I now fully believe she understands age experiences and needs better than any other artist. She's one of a kind and Bowie was right!
Okay sobbing over because this uni assignment was due yesterday lol, thanks for reading.

What a Disney Brother is: Any male who had a sister who would watch re-runs of the Disney princess movies, making it hard for you to watch what you want to watch, this could be because your sister would put on a new princess movie so you had to watch the movies with her to make sure she didn't change, or you were the oldest in the house and had to watch her when your parents went out.
Now I'm asking Disney Brothers and not guys who liked Disney movies, because as a child I despised these movies for how they inconvenienced my day, and so recently when my sister and my gf convinced me to go watch the live-action one I was peeved. So if anyone's review in my opinion matters it's yours
But when I left that movie I was in awe, it was actually better than I thought, I have the Scuttlebutt song stuck in my head.

Would this even work? Say you take out a loan for 100k, then buy a house for 100k, then rent it out at $1500 a month for 6 years. At the end of the six years you would then own said house.

As mentioned in the title, I’m an incoming 1st year Nursing student and pasukan na namin this July. I’m planning to look for a Job para makatulong sa Mom ko in terms of finances since 52k+ tuition namin for first sem plus rent and pandagdag allowance since I study outside our province. Hybrid Learning rin naman kami so I think keri naman magwork.
Ano po tips niyo para makahanap ako ng Job? May mga available kayang WFH jobs for students?
If may study tips rin kayo for nursing students, malaking tulong rin po yun☺️
TIA!

I think that my mom is super toxic and no one else in my family sees it which is why I am getting no support from them. I still live at home because I can’t afford rent yet as I am still going to university and can’t work a full time job. My bf (26M) of 3y (who is the only one who seems to support me and who believes me) has a flat and has offered me many times to move in with him but I don’t want to live off of his money and my mom would literally kill me. She has always been controlling and very strict but I never thought too much about it because only when I met my bf was when I realised that her behaviour isn’t normal nor healthy. She always had a problem with me growing up and used to tell me daily that it is my fault that I got older and used to punish me for it. Now that I am an adult she still insults me regularly and is treating me very poorly and accusing me of things I didn’t even do.
I have 2 other siblings as well (24M and 7F) who she treats like gods. My brother lives next door btw. I am always the one who has to do EVERYTHING in the house and if I don’t want to because I think it’s unfair she starts getting really pissed off and insults me. Last week I had to carry a 56pounds/25kg heavy sack with sand around the garden all by myself while my brother was playing video games (I am a tiny skinny woman). When I addressed this she started yelling at me that I am so lazy and never do anything for her and that I am basically the worst. My brother never has to do anything and he also insults me daily. That has been going on ever since I can remember. He says things like “you’re so ugly and dumb. No wonder no one likes you. Our parents didn’t even want to have you” and he says those things next to my parents and when I say that it’s hurtful they tell me that they can’t change him and get angry at me and say that I should just let go off it. Even when we were kids they never punished him for the things he said to me.
Another example (1 of many): I am sick atm and my parents went on a 1 day trip yesterday with my sister. I had really bad fever and wanted to go to my bf’s so that he could take care of me and I thought why not since nobody is home anyways. Well, I was wrong. My mom threw a tantrum as always. I went anyway and then she called me a couple of times to tell me that I am a disappointment. She hired my brother so that he could spy on me and check if I was at home and when I wasn’t he called her. Not once did she ask me how I was. And every time I try to tell her how all of that makes me feel she finds a way to make me look bad. And she says that I am being delusional and that it’s all in my head. Oh and she’s removed all of my pictures from the wall. Again. She always does this when I do something that she doesn’t like even though I didn’t do anything wrong. This has been going on for years and every time I try to talk to her about it it gets worse. I can’t have my own life and do age appropriate things like staying at my bf’s because she’s trying to manipulate me into staying and then she starts treating me even worse.
I really don’t know what to do anymore. I cry almost daily because of her. I don’t get support from my family. My bf is the only one helping me. But I always tell him not to stand up to her because I know it would only get worse. I also can’t go to therapy because I can’t afford it. I am scared I am going to get mentally ill. Please help me.
TL;DR my mother is toxic and treating me like shit. How do I deal with this?

I’ve been trying for weeks attempting to run ethernet to my PS5 because my wifi is so bad in my room. My attempts have been an unsuccessfull, as I’ve bought two CAT8 cables, and ran one from my router to a wall jack and the other from my PS5 to a wall jack in a different room. The issue is the router needs to stay in a different room in my house is the only way to obtain ethernet available by connecting the PS five directly to the router? Or is there someway that I can get ethernet by using wall jacks instead? PS I’m not really good on the whole Wi-Fi/LAN technology stuff.

I have a horrible relationship with my older sister . I’m in my mid twenties , she’s in her early 30s. We don’t get along as adults, we didn’t get along as children. And quite honestly I have unresolved trauma from growing up due to her.
As of lately, she’s pregnant and she finds me to be an easy target . She likes to argue with me because in the past Id give her the reaction she wanted. Now I tell her “ think whatever you’d like” , which makes her explode even more, but at that point I stop texting back.
Today she said I think I’m superior to everyone else and she could care less about me. I didn’t entertain the argument, I just find it so toxic. I don’t trust her, I consider her an evil person.
After todays attempted altercation, I truly believe she says that because I no longer entertain abuse. So I do come off as stuck up because I’m allowing myself to shut off hearing her degrade me. I refuse to take it. I’m a humble person, and I’m kind, she’s just never seen that of me because she’s just a c*nt. She’s also my parents favorite child so that’s added to it. I’ve caught my mom criticizing me with her and I have to reminder . You are the impartial party. If you get mad at me that’s fine but you cannot take it out with her and gossip about me. You’re the mother.
I currently live with my parents, I work full time and I lay rent, I cooperate to the home as well. I cannot wait for the day I move out with my SO because I will be distanced from this abuse . One thing is my sister but when my mother entertains it, its tag-teaming. I shouldn’t have to remind a mother to be impartial, and I shouldn’t be considered stuck up for setting boundaries.

I start school in September. I’m looking for a September lease. I was told there are very few options left for housing after July 1st. Am I just looking too early?

Currently have a clogged sink and toilet in my apartment, which I obviously need unclogged. I called my landlord tonight to ask if they can send a plumber and they said to call my plumber. I said I don’t have a plumber…I’m renting. The previous owner would just send someone out and if there was a clog or an issue they would take care of it. She said she’s out of town, but would call someone in the morning. Then she called me back and said that I would be responsible for the charges since it’s a clog in the toilet and no one else in the building is having issues. I understand if I put someone down the toilet that shouldn’t be there, obviously I would be responsible. But am I responsible for the plumbing in a building that was built in the 1930s? The only thing that goes in the toilet is #1, #2 and toilet paper.
Has anyone else had an issue like this with their landlord? What did you do? Is this something I should pay for out of pocket and then talk to the rent board to see if I can deduct it from the rent?
