Don't I know it! For me it wasn't the drain from the tub, it was the washing machine drainage. It backed up anytime I or anyone above me used their washing machine! Lint gets into the drains and then when it clogs, it finds the first place it can to spill out and that's us first floor people.
Make sure the landlord doesn't just use a short term approach to this problem but keeps the common drain system clear on an ongoing basis.
Your story reminds me to get our pipes checked again--thanks.
I had a lot of water which caused damage, but no muck. Yuck--I'm sorry you had to deal with that. It certainly was stressful.
