Should I charge the tenant for the repairs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nIf the tenant&#8217;s actions directly caused the overflow (e.g., flushing non-disposable items), you may deduct the repair costs from their security deposit.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Can_the_tenant_withhold_rent_due_to_a_toilet_overflow\"><\/span>4.
