So, here is the story. I pay rent to live in a house way out in the country. We have a septic system and well water. Well, here is the problem, the septic system has been backed up now since Sunday evening and we called our property management people that we pay our rent to. They keep saying that someone will be out to take care of this problem but to no avail has anyone even showed up to deal with this. Our landlord is an older gentlemen that owns this house and he is a farmer. The property management people always handle any emergencies or maintenance that needs to be done with this house. I keep calling them everyday telling them that no one has come out here to suck out the septic and everyday it is the same old BS story that they are working on it.
I am beyond frustrated and this is the most disgusting situation I have ever dealt with in my life. Now common sense is basically knowing that the septic backing up and coming up in the drain in the bath tub is NOT a healthy thing. Why is no one out here taking care of this???? I am so beyond pissed right now. I am ready to call someone and find out exactly what my rights are as a tenant that pays rent. Why is my landlord dragging his heels and what the hell is property management going to do to rectify this messy situation??? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
