Why don't you show the LL the difference in bill and see what he will do. It's not really his fault you didn't notice the leak. It might be your fault it was leaking (toilets just don't start leaking--they usually start leaking with a flush). Can't hurt to ask. If he doesn't pay, it's $55. I hope that will not kill you.

You should have me as a landlord. Apparently I just allow my tenants not to pay on the first of the month. Mother effers.

I'd imagine there is no way the landlord will pay the water bill for you. It is in your name and utilities are your obligation. Just be glad you caught it and are getting it fixed. I would only complain/demand money if it takes the landlord months to fix it and you continue to have to pay the huge water bill for multiple months.

ETA: May want to turn off the water to the toilet to avoid this if you haven't already. I assume that's possible.
