I always pour oil down the drain and my drains have never been blocked. Just run the hot water while doing it and it will never solidify.

Not only do you risk having to pay your landlord money, its going to be a lot more than just a dime. If I knew who your landlord were I would personally provide him the legal help to sue your petty ass for all the damages you have caused. I hate dirty ungrateful people like you. Just because you rent doesnt mean you get to act like a spoiled kid with no responsibilites.

Not impossible, but 90% of the time it is just a bench warrant that will be followed up by court costs far in excess of the cost to unfuck whatever damage the tenant did. State police don't talk to each other unless it is serious shit as well.
