Don't do any repairs on someone else's property. I'm pretty sure it's written in the lease somewhere. Because now you're on the hook for all subsequent damage, or at least up to the amount of your security deposit. There is not going to be a plumber on taskrabbit, not a real one anyway

After reading plumber and task rabbit I expected far worse than what I read. That's like hiring an electrician from under the tree in a home depot parking lot.

That said, your drain will (probably) not explode. Post a picture.

Yeah first and foremost everyone is right in making fun of you for hiring someone on task rabbit to work on your landlord's property. That being said, to maybe calm your anxiety: Yes P traps are pretty elementary in terms of plumbing. No one can correctly assume what went wrong without seeing it. P traps come in sections so you can easily clean them out. They are supposed to be hand tight-ish, so this literally might be a moment of needing to tighten is just a hair more. It's a drain, the only likely chance of it exploding is if you are pouring explosive chemicals down it. Maybe you post a pic and people are like "Yeah just tighten that part" but you're still going to (rightfully) get a lot of "don't do maintenance on rentals" -- because it's rule #1.

It doesn't sound this way, but for all we know the landlord sent the task rabbit person to do the work. I agree you shouldn't do repairs on your rental, but if all op needs to do is tighten the slip but on their drain, they don't need to involve the landlord.
