It is a RENTAL. The wires don't belong to the OP. He needs to lean on
landlord to get it replaced.

The telco considers their customer to be the "owner" of the wire. If there is
billable trouble with the wire in the rental, the CUSTOMER is billed - NOT the
landlord. It would be up to the customer to be reimbursed by the landlord for
any charges incurred.

It's VERY likely that the landlord will tell his tenant to "pound sand" and to
take care of the problem himself by dealing with the telco.
