Tenant want to hire and pay for a plumber themselves

[Evan Hauler]

Hello, 

I just bought, my first ever property/home (woo), and there is an existing in the lower unit. And they have reported a slow clog in their bathtub, the thing is they offered to hire a plumber and pay for it themselves.

Ive never heard of anyone doing this, and was wondering if it is legal or what are my risks by allowing this? 

Thank you :)

Quote from @Evan Hauler:

I disagree with some of the others. The Tenant did the right thing by reporting it. They apparently feel responsible for the clog, so they're willing to pay for it. These are good signs!

I would tell her to use a professional plumber and that she may be responsible for any damages caused. It's that easy.
