Rental bathroom light cracked and injured.

We currently live in a rented apartment.
Tonight, my daughter and husband were in the bathtub and while playing with a water gun, water hit the ceiling and a light that was installed directly above them broke and fell. Fortunately my daughter was not hurt, although she was hit on the arm, but my husband was injured in three places.
I should have been more careful …, but I was also angry that they didn't put a plastic cover on the light right above the bathtub where steam and water splashed ？. When I was a child, I used to play with water splashing on the ceiling, so I think there are inadequate safety measures in a place where people are naked and unprotected ？ but I wonder if this is a Japanese feeling ？
Tomorrow, I'm going to tell the manager in a strong voice. I'm going to tell the manager tomorrow, but I'm assuming that there is no such thing as "water guns in the bathroom are taboo in America". ？
I have lived in the U.S. for only a short time, so I don't understand the common sense here. I am looking forward to your opinion.

I vote that we don't let people use water guns in the bathroom.

There are light bulbs, there are electrical outlets, and I dread to think what would happen if water got into the outlets.

＞ I have lived in the U.S. for only a short time, so I don't understand the common sense here.

Anyone who has just moved to this area must not be familiar with it.

The relationship between a landlord and a tenant should have been contracted on paper when the tenant moved in, and if you read the contract, you will find how to handle such a case, but if you have just arrived in the US, you may not understand the details.

First of all, you should verbally ask them, "How would you handle such a case?

My guess is that anything the tenant breaks has to be fixed at the tenant's expense.

＞ While playing with water guns, water splashed on the ceiling and the light directly above broke and fell

In my judgment, this case is considered as "tenant broke it without permission" and AAY should bear all costs. I think that AAY will have to pay all the costs.

I think the problem is the lack of common sense of the parents.
By the way, can you wash your body outside in a unit bath like in Japanese apartments ？ I've never seen it here
Otherwise, the toilet floor outside the bathtub would be flooded
The light is right above the bathtub ？ Normally, it's impossible. Normally there is a light right above the bathtub
A 30W light bulb can't be broken by a splash of water.

I've lived in all kinds of apartments, houses, condos, townhouses, and never once have I had electricity right over the tab.

My son also uses a water gun, but I explain to him where he can spray it and where he can't, as well as why.

I thought it was an accident that wouldn't happen if the parents were together, but it did. I think it was your husband's fault.

Regardless of how long he was in the U.S., I am sure he was a complainer and was already being harassed in Japan.

You should complain to him ？ and be strong ！.

Anyone who has just moved to our area should think about how they would have handled living in Japan
if they didn't know what they were doing.
