Some renters I worked with to get into a lease have reported to landlord a leak in the yard between the main and the house. Landlord sent a plumber to repair the leak ( a few days before ice-hell-week).. tenant suspected and reported leak not repaired properly as evidenced by standing water and meter movement, the day before freeze, now seeing it again after things have thawed and properly reported and landlord saying she cannot get a hold of a plumber to get out there. This is a lie, I provided contact with a licensed, reputable plumbing company who is able to get out there but she does not like their pricing. Who is responsible for the increased water bill due to the leak during this time?

There is a definite argument to have owner pay, but what my property management team does when dealing with these impasses, we help the tenant get a credit on the bill. If you show there is a leak and fix it (share plumber bill), then the city usually makes a credit adjustment. \n\nWith the pipe burst, we will be alerting tenants to be prepared to request credit on the bill. I linked to city of Houston but there maybe ones for MUDs as well.
