If you can remove yourself from the premises. Videotape documentation may help you achieve a desirable outcome. You may choose to act now by contacting your county health dept. in which case the property will be declared unfit for human habitation you will be removed at the owner's expense . the owner will in turn have to pass an inspection in order to rent/lease the property in the future. If you are unable to move , or don't wish legal action, roto rooter or any capable sewer service may assist you in freeing the obstruction from your sewer lines.

First call your local health department and then your waste/water management authority. The first will fine your landlord or manager, and the second should be able to tell you how to fix the problem.

Call your local Health Dept. Tell them you reported this potential health risk and your landlord has done nothing, request your water be tested.
Failing any result call The EPA.

Do they have an emergency drain cleaner on call? If not, call one yourself. I believe in emergencies you have the right to get something fixed and then have the landlord reimburse you.
You may want to contact your local health department about it, but if it's not a regularly occurring thing, and everything else is in good shape, it may not be worth it. They're not going to fix it for you. They would tell him to do it. And if he's out of town, they can't tell him either. Best bet is to get it fixed so you're not living in that situation.

Call the local Health Dept. tomorrow when it opens. It is very real health threat and he will be forced to handle it or face fines.

Call the mayor's office. They will refer you to the right dept. such as public works.
