Thanks everyone. I'm going to start checking out the farmers market. Plumber is here now. I've been looking up the issue and it sounds like I can be charged if I caused the issue like flushing paper towels but landlords are responsible for wear and tear. We have been without a toilet since 3pm yesterday. We have to go to gas station/walmart. This doesn't seem right. The house is not liveable. Hopefully it gets fixed. Very nervous about the cost. My last landlord used to have someone out within an hour with no cost to me.
