There is an ejector pump in the bathroom of my basement apartment. It has occasionally flooded because of the float not working correctly or getting stuck. My landlord blames me for this “misuse” is the word he used- and told me I have to call a plumber ( it flooded this morning). Is this reallly the tenants responsibility?
