Kitchen faucet dripping when off

A steady drip from the spout is usually a worn seal or cartridge. I will help you narrow it down.

So your landlord gets a complete ticket, try to cover these as we go: short issue title, where in the unit, when it started, a clear description of the problem, and whether there is any possible emergency (gas, sparks, major flooding).

Is the drip from the spout even when the handle is fully off, and is it a single-handle or two-handle faucet?

Good detail. Two quick checks before we decide next steps:

1. Under the sink, turn both angle stops clockwise to off, then move the handle to release pressure. Does the drip stop completely?

2. Any water or corrosion on the supply lines or on the cabinet floor?

That pattern fits a failed cartridge more than a loose nut. Replacing it takes the right part; swapping the whole faucet is sometimes easier on older fixtures.

Here is the ticket text that will go to your landlord when you use Notify my landlord:

You are all set for now. If the drip changes or you notice new leaking after the shutoffs are open again, mention it here before Tuesday.
