Full question:
I am in a rental lease for 1 year. There is a clause that states that I must pay for any repairs that fall under $250.00. I had to call a plumber to snake out my sewer drains that lead to the main one outside. He pulled out a couple of handfuls of tree roots. I need to know if this is considered a repair or does this fall under a safety issue since it was coming up from the outside pipes and when the toilet was flush or water was ran it would cause a back up in the drain.
