Not sure if this belongs in this sub but I figured somebody here would have an answer.
I live with my girlfriend in Calgary and we are experiencing a clogged sink. We've been in this apartment since September and the place is 6 years old. We told our landlady that the sink wasn't draining properly so she came over and put Drano in it and we followed the instructions properly. It didn't fix the issue.
We contacted our landlady again and she wanted to come Drano it again, to which we warned her that it is a really corrosive chemical that damages PVC pipes. She still wanted to do it so she did. That didn't work either.
We've told her at this point that she should hire a plumber but her response was that "she has other friends in the building and it's not happening to them so it must be our fault." That may be, but we pay this woman 1600$ a month to act as our landlady so surely she can fix a simple sink clog for us?
She then came to Drano for A THIRD TIME, obviously to no avail. She's now made an appointment for her and a plumber to come but my girlfriend and I are feeling like she's going to use this opportunity to try to blame the damage to the sink on us and make us pay for it.
Anyone here know any landlord laws for AB? Seems to me this is a wear and tear kind of situation but I may be wrong. Any help would be appreciated, sorry again if this doesn't relate to the sub.
