Pic would help also most of the screws off or there is a set screw

Two ways- either twisting the knob off and removing the hidden screw, or turning the whole thing. Either way, it WILL unscrew.

I guess this was the answer I was looking for. It's a rental house so I didn't want to fuck it up but I guess I'll give it a real hard turn. I tried pretty hard and it wasn't budging but I'll really try now

Can you unscrew the stopper? If they can't be taken apart under the sink, they normally unscrew or there's a small set screw somewhere.

Otherwise, you can buy plastic drain clog removers that get into tight spaces. Girls with long hair keep these things busy.

There can be a set screw on the bottom of the stopper too. The plug sits on a post in the drain in the case

Trombone Brush. Not a joke. Narrow, flexible, and very long. Not a joke.

If it doesn't come off after screwing the pull off then the base has an O ring and unless you have a special tool it's a pain to remove, especially without damaging it.
