The tenant calls and says the shower is broke. Is it acceptable to take 48 hours to fix it? I say, HELL NO.

Broke as in leaking a little bit or totally unusable? They probably have a particular plumber they use who is tied up or something. If it's the only shower in the house they should get someone on it ASAP regardless. A lot of landlords are sleeze balls though.

Hire somebody and take the bill off the rent. Make copies of the receipt.

It doesn't work at all. He won't call a plumber, he does it himself. Ordered a part. Dipshit says we can take a shower at his place

Sounds like you have a bad landlord. I do work for quite a few who are good - hell, I had to go out on an emergency call tonight for a tenant whose main sewer line was plugged. For everyone who is good though there is always that one who either slow pays or wants me to wait "till something else breaks" before I go by. If the guy is doing the work himself he either isn't doing that well in the market or is a severe tight-wad. Personally, I definitely would not pay someone else to fix it - you are asking for trouble as there could be a clause in your lease that excludes him from having to re-imburse you. Plus, if you don't know what your doing and make the problem worse you will most definitely be held responsible for the damages.

WTF....i was never in the situation but I'd say 24 hours is acceptable....48 is pretty bad....imo if he cannot fix it that same day he should hire someone....or allow you to
