    Hey guys,

    I just moved in to a new apartment and have discovered that the shower is fixed very high on the wall and can't be adjusted. Also, there is not adequate cover (i.e. no shower curtain), meaning that:

    1. The water is too high & is going over my girlfriend's head

    2. The bathroom is getting soaked

    We need to buy a shower curtain to stop the water coming out on to the floor and a shower mixer so the water can actually reach us.

    Anyway my question is, who should pay for this, us or the landlord?

    Landlord, I'd say.

    Contact the landlord and have a word. I'm sure he/she wouldn't want their place getting ruined by water.

    What do you mean about the shower being too high? Does it not have good pressure?

    Very odd to have shower facilities without a screen or curtain. Definitely get onto the landlord, I doubt they want their bathroom destroyed with water going everywhere.
