Although you have the cost of emptying the tank, you benefited from the lower purchase price when buying the house not connected to mains drainage in the first place.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0

Blimey absolutely it us landlords responsibility unless it was completely emptied for the new tenant. It is like asking a new tenant to empty your old bins with your rubbish in them.0

And if there was a debate I would be vacating the property.0

Pay to empty it this time, increase their rent by £6.25 a month to cover next time.0

The septic tank for my house and another one close by was emptied earlier this year for the first time in 40 years. It may have not needed it as it had 'a good crusty top' :eek: when examined, however the emptying has stopped my upstair loo filling with water when flushed and my shower drain gurgling.0
