How are they supposed to know I did it intentionally?

>>17639837
because people just don't accidentally dump gallons of grease down the drain

That's too hard to prove and lots of places in America have crazy tenant protection laws. It's one thing if the landlord seethes over 10 grand and sues the tenant into paying for the damage while providing evidence, but insurance isnt the seething landlord.
Also the people coming to check for the insurance company sometimes just don't give enough of a fuck to probe your asshole for evidence. Happened to me with a minor water damage issue.

if somebody flushed a bucket of golfballs down the shitter what do you think the insurance company would do about it?
same thing as dumping gallons of grease/oil

>> No.17639981

>>17639967
prove that wasnt a slow build-up of grease from normal dishwashing years past

in a new building, it could theoretically be simple, but legally is probably still an uphill battle. in an old building, shit out of luck

>> No.17639984

>>17639981
and by "new building" I mean like you would probably need for it to be caused by the first tenant after construction to have any basis to claim they caused it

>> No.17639997

>legally
They just refuse to pay for it.
