Post: Legally deductin from rent

Posted by Cat on 8/10/07
I have a landlord that lives a distance away. We do all the repairs ourselves and notify him of what we've done. Recently we had a septic problem by which he took no interest in helping to resolve. I had it repaired at a reasonable rate by which we are responsible for the 1st $100. The initial cost was $175.00 to clear the pipe between the cleanout and the tank. That did not totally resolve the issue. We had the tank pumped $275 - I should be able to deduct the $75 and the $275 from my rent. Is this a legal move on our part?
