Hot Mom ALERT! asked:
we have only lived in this house for 3 or 4 months. we’re having plumbing probs so I called the landlord (even though we’re supposed to be responsible for repairs) just to see what advice she could give me. She was against me calling someone right away, (surprisingly) and told me “it’s always better to fix it yourself.”
well, we tried to, and I had to I have someone come and look and they said the plumbing isn’t even up to code. We can pay like 500 to fix the prob for now but in order to get things where they SHOULD be, we’re lookin at 1000+
I know she’s going to give me a hard time with this, can we break the agreement since the plumbing isn’t even up to code? I mean I don’t mind fixing things but if it’s not even up to code.
oh, and my husband and I have already discussed not staying here / not buying the house after the 2 yrs because he has a long commute, but were planning on making the best of it until this happened. And we seem to find things wrong more and more…any advice?
