We discussed that at length, he doesn't understand what happened to the venting system, and is not that familiar with the property. I did tell him that it must be fixed, and I think he understood.
Honestly, this guy suffers from what happens when you constantly go with the cheapest option. There is NO WAY a concrete pad that was poured in 2002 should be cracked like this is, but thats what happened. Also, his previous tenant may have taking the metal venting pipe and recycled it. The possibility definitely exists. He said that it was completely up to health code when it was installed, and that included a vent, so who knows what happened.
Right now he is dealing with a massive roof problem that is related to being screwed by a dishonest roofing contractor. Instead of fixing the rotted section that he was contracted to do, the guy built a wooden frame to fill in the depression on the roof above, and shingled over it!
From above the roof is flat, but from inside, one section is bowed down about 2 feet with the false roof above it.
