    No the landlord does not have to provide an electric shower. Minimum standards require a bath or shower.

    Citizens information Minimum Standards

    Have you contacted your landlord and asked about maintenance and work that needs doing?

    well then your stuck.

    its as simple as if you dont like the decor then move out. Time to start saving a few quid for a deposit or put up with the old decor.

    How much deposit did you pay for the current place? Also, did you get much rent reduction in the last 4 years? If not, I'd say you'd be surprised on how much you could save if you moved.
