My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Georgia We move in January 31, 2016 and within two weeks our kids bathroom and the guest bathroom started backing up. We notified the management company and they had someone come and clean the septic tank I believe?? We had no more issues until last week on 04/04/2017 the kitchen sink backed up and flooded the laundry room as well as that of the laundry room there was raw feces. I notified the management company and they had a plumber who did nothing that night. So, we cleaned up the mess and the gentleman from the management company did offer to help but we declined. So on 04/05/2017 a plumber came out early that morning and snaked the drain problem cleared so we thought?? They sent out someone to check the septic tank.The first time we find out about a septic tank is when we have the first incident. This guy digs up the yard and he ask if he can check and see if any toilets were running?? I agreed he checked the toilets and it was the one in the master bedroom. The gentlemen from the management company came back out on 04/11/2017 and changed something in the toilet. He has a heart to heart talk with us to let us know the plumber said the grease in the septic tank was the reason, although he told me that the toilet leak was the problem because water is constantly running, filling up the tank. Anyway the owner wants us to pay $2200.00 for the septic tank being repaired. Our options are, with this being the last resort, eviction. Not that our rent is late, or sign another year's lease. This one we have now is for two years. So what do we do?? Is that our responsibility or the homeowners'?? It is not stated in the lease but he gave us an amended lease with that stipulated as of now. We do not want to stay another year here this is a headache!!!
