Default flushing cat litter down toilet - should landlord forbid this?

Next time you do your groceries, ask for "plastic" and use those.

Some types of litter is said to be flushable. All others are a big no
no. I might also suggest that even the "flushable" types have been
questioned and I don't think it is a good idea to even allow these.

Personally I have two cats. I buy the rolls of plastic bags that they
use in the produce departments of grocery stores. Once in the bag it goes
in the trash, no smell and no problems.

I'm a landlord now dealing with problems in a basement floor drain
(Palmer valve) - sewer gas smelling up basement - smell is musty, not
clear what it is but I could convince myself it's like cat/crap

cat/litter/.

This is an old single family (Milwaukee WI, 1903), converted into a

duplex
from a single family. The upper unit has a good tenant with three cats.

Should I insist that the tenant refrain from flushing *any* of the cat

crap or
soiled cat litter down the toilet?

One plumber friend I talked with last night was shocked that cat litter
might be getting into the drain system. His concern was that the litter
might accumulate in the drain pipes, and might require an expensive
repair- cutting out the cast iron pipework to remove the eventual hard
blockage.

Comments?
