Answer 7

Discolored or Cracked Electrical Outlet

If your electrical outlet shows signs of discoloration, it can indicate that the connections are overheating. In this case, the outlet should be inspected by a licensed electrician and could mean a variety of safety concerns. In the end, the outlet will need replacing. If your electrical outlet’s face plate has cracks, you are exposing the loose terminals, which is a definite hazard for anyone using the outlet.

Answer 33

that resorted into the face plate broke

Answer 34

Mike there isn't really a good excuse. If you know how it broke, just be honest. If you don't, tell them you don't know how. But regardless, just get the plate and tell them you'll fix it yourself. It just needs some properly placed screws and it's good.

Answer 35

If you tell your parents and get it fixed, you don't need to tell your landlord.
