Property manager Kirkland Washington Maintenance Observation
Running Toilets
A toilet that the runs periodically can cost hundreds of dollars on the water bill. We ask our tenants to keep an eye these things but sometimes it is not very apparent that it is running periodically.
The tenant gets a large water bill and thinks the property manager should cover it and the property manager thinks the tenant should have let them know the toilet was not operating correctly.
The best solution is to educate the tenants when they move in and maybe include a clause in the lease giving responsibility to the tenant for an increased water bill.
