Plumbing issues

By Scott Jackson

 

I am currently renting an older house that in 10 months of living there have had the sewage back up in the basement twice.  This most recent time, last week, they did have someone come out and clear out tree roots for the second time, but left the roots and bodily waste all over my basement and refuse to clean it up and say that it is my responsibility.

Also today the kitchen pipes have frozen, more than two months ago they said they would insulate under there and have not, and refuse to come out to handle this either and said it’s my problem.  I have run a space heater in the kitchen 24/7 for the past week because it is so cold and uninsulated.

I don’t feel either of these are my responsibility.  Am I right?
