So, I have a granite countertop that cracked when I leaned against it, and unfortunately, the concrete support below it broke too. I weigh about 80 kg (176 lbs), and I'm really worried about how serious this is. Since it's a rental property and my landlord isn't exactly the most understanding person, what steps should I take next?

Wow, that sounds frustrating! I would suggest reaching out to some local stone suppliers or fabricators. Sometimes they have leftover pieces that might fit your needs without breaking the bank. And don’t stress too much; these things can usually be fixed! Just get it done before your landlord finds out. Good luck!

First things first, is this countertop part of a rental? If so, that's definitely a tricky situation! You might want to talk to your landlord about it, even if they’re not the best to deal with. Also, if you could provide a photo, it could help others give more specific advice on fixing it. But if that's not an option, looking for a similar granite slab or remnants could save you some cash. Check out places like Facebook Marketplace for deals! You could get it fabricated and installed without anyone needing to know what happened.
