Multi unit building – plumbing leak, charging tenants

“I live in a row house with one unit on the first and second floors and another unit in the basement. I share the top unit with two female craigslist roommates. A single male has lived in the basement for at least 6 months. A week ago, the basement unit flooded, and the plumbing company indicated it was due to the rains. They “fixed” it, but it seems to have flooded again a few days later. The plumber snaked the pipes and found tampons, which I thought everyone knew could not be flushed, especially in an old row house with ancient plumbing. Our property management company now wants to send us the bill for the second clean up and emergency call. One roommate and I don’t even use tampons, and the caveat is that the third just moved out a couple days ago, and she is not responding to our emails.

My question is the following: can the property management company bill us for an issue in shared pipes, because the basement tenant is a single male? I’ve lived in this house for 2 years without plumbing issues, and it’s suspicious that this incident is so closely following the rain-induced incident.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
