My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
So basically when we moved in the landlord had just installed a new shower. Recently the shower was clogged and we told her. She then hired her own plumber to come fix it and they said it was just hair and after it was done she said that we owed her $269 for it. Can she do that?
I just feel like its unfair because we could've hired our own cheaper plumber but she didn't tell us we were having to pay for it until it was done.
Please provide proof or specific laws against this if she is in the wrong because at this point we don't know what to tell her.
