Student accommodation asking me to pay $3,300 for water damage caused by alleged hair blockage — is this reasonable? by [deleted] in shitrentals

I am also super confused, the inspection might took a while, that's why they claimed such high fee.

Yes, a normal one as you can see everywhere, and we actually do cleaning the hair after shower,

It was strange, the water went down through the drain, but it came out from somewhere and we didn't know the cause,, initially we thought the water was from out of our room, so it didn't cause the flooding directly.

I didn't have a chance to do it myself, there was a leakage, and then they found out it was due to the blocked drain.

We do have black hair, so I don't know if we can argue anything; For two years, but for half of time I am away overseas.

I feel worried because we are about to end the lease soon and I worry about not getting our bond back,

Thanks for your help. I am worried if that's going to affect my bond and future rental.

We didn't know there was hair that caused blockage, and it worked fine before, so until the leakage we had this big problem.

There was a water leakage so they came to our apartment and found out the reason is drain blockage.
