Very easy fix using bar solder with a composition of 40 -60 and acid free flux and the use of a wiping cloth that most older master plumbers still have

If the pipe is in good enough shape you can weld over the hole, BUT If there is one small hole rusted in the system it is a good sign the pipe is rotted. There will be many other holes soon.

They will not pay to fix the pipe, or will not pay for the clean up and damage to your property? They have to fix the pipe and clean up the mess caused by it. Any personal property, possibly not. That's why they sell renters insurance. You may be able to take them to small claims court to recover damages.


Hole in exhaust before catalytic converter?

The exhaust pipe will need to be replaced, or, you can buy a quick-fix patch at your local auto parts store as a temporary fix. It's a treated "ribbon" about 2 or 3 inches wide that you can wrap around the exhaust pipe to cover the hole. The heat of the exhaust activates the chemicals in the "ribbon" to make it adherent. I believe the product is called a muffler repair kit.
