Do I pay for the cost of the repair for my sink when I’m a tenant in a apartment complex?

I live in an apartment in S. California and I’m a month/month rent tenant.
She told me that I have to pay for the product price because she bought it and fixed it for me.
I was kind of confused because I have lived in other apartments and no matter what the manager or owner fixed it for me with no expense.
Who’s right…whos not……or it all depends on what apartment you live on? Owner is responsible or me? I don’t know…=(

She is responsible for repairs unless you were negligent.
If she is only looking for the cost of chemicals though I would pay for it just to keep things civil.
It depends on your contract you signed when moving into the apartment. I would go back and read it for details on whether or not tenants are responsible for repairs.
Man you dont have to pay for jack. Thats her resposibility!
It depends on why it was clogged…Did you shove a bunch of stuff in the garbage disposal and then it clogged, or did it just clog? If you did it, then yes, you have to pay.
You pay. Got clogged because of your waste.
Normal repairs are the responsibility of the landlord.
All cost of living are yours to pay. Sounds shitty that you’re getting charged though.
Landlords are supposed to maintain the unit. Plumbing is supposed to work. Maintaining the plumbing is necessary for sanitation.
Don’t let the manager stick you for what is a basic maintannce task.
Shouldn’t have to! Tis the owners responsibility. Unless of course ya flat out intentionally broke it.
no the owner has to pay for it. its is their job to maintain the building in any way
when you pay rent to a person and something breaks downe like a toilett, or shower nozzle what ever its there responsiblity cut and clear hons- thats what you are paying rents for- if, something breaks downe, they are reponsible for itt not you they are putting the shaft to you. move out i woulld if i were you hons.
Basic maintenance is the landlord’s responsibility (refusing to fix a maintenance issue is a violation of the housing code and you can withhold rent until it is fixed) . If you did something abnormal to cause the problem, then it’s your responsibility.
Check the agreement you signed when you moved into the apartment. It should say who is responsible for repairs. Usually that’s the landlord. If that’s the case, then she should absorb the cost of the work - including the liquid plumber - as an operating expense.
You don’t have to pay for it.It’s a Building Manager’s duty to fixed it.Let water flows around the apartment and get leakages to down stairs.And down stairs tenant let complaint to the Manager.There they have to make more expenses than the Unclogging liquid.
Most likely the landlord has to pay, but it really matter the state you live in and the contract.
Although, you can fight it in the court. Is it worth it? If you paid for it, then make sure you take the remaining bottle from him/her.
It matters what your lease says.Usually the landlord pays for repairs but there are some crocked landlords out there. When renting a property be sure to read the lease carefully to be sure they are going to take care of repairs.
