What can apartment communities/landlords be responsible for?

I live in an apartment in which the landlord is responsible for the obvious maintenance. Found out today that a toilet is leaking. They are replacing the toilet but my water bill to more than double from $55 to $130.
I assume I am on the hook for that 75$ despite it being their fault

They aren't paying for the broken toilet?

so you didn't notice the toilet leaking all that time?

you regularly have a $55 water bill? good grief. Mine averages between 25-35 in a four person household.

Call the water company and ask for an adjustment. I had a similar situation a few years ago and found them to be quite reasonable to work with.

How can the landlord fix the issue if you do not inform him of the problem?
The toilet repair is on him, the water usage is on you.
I'd chalk it up to a lessened learned.

Honestly, I don't think I'd potentially piss off my landlord over a 75 dollar water bill increase.
shite happens, and this is why you should have a "shite happens" account.
