Rental bathroom light cracked and injured.

Question

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.

You don't know, but you have common sense. This is the tenant I don't want to rent to the most. They break things due to their own carelessness or misuse of the property and then complain that it is all poorly built or that the landlord won't fix it. People with common sense live neatly and cleanly and either repair their own fault or don't complain when they get pulled over.

Sorry for the unnecessary help.

AAY, you said you lived in America for a short time, is your husband also Japanese ？

You said you took a bath with your daughter, how old is she ？ In America, if a daughter and father bathe together naked and a son and mother bathe together naked, it is child abuse.

There are many things that are common in Japanese child-rearing that are considered child abuse in the U.S., so it would be a good idea to do some research.

I am glad that your daughter was not seriously injured.

If you've only been in the US a short time, you probably don't know much.
As with other topics, mounting and harshly worded posts are not a good idea.

There are places with bare bulb designs without covers, aren't there?
I once lived in a property with a bathroom that had that design, but it was not installed right over the tab.

• Water splashed on the ceiling while playing with a water gun
• The property was delivered to us with several places that needed repair since we moved in
so I think it's a bit mutual.

However, "I want to tell the manager in a strong manner" and "I want to request repairs to the cracked or floating flooring" depends on each individual, so it might be a good idea to think carefully and make a decision.

In Japan, no matter how nicely you use the room, 30% of the rent is deducted without telling you when you move out.
A person from that country said that in the U.S., the lessor is sloppy. Some places only fix the minimum amount of things with cheap stuff because the tenants break things. Along the beach, rents are high because of demo locations where the carpets are old and you can't tell when they were changed.

It depends on the reader whether he/she thinks it is mounting or advising.

Would you normally spray a water pistol at a naked light bulb in a bathroom, unless it is over a bathtub (no lights on) ？ If a child did this, the parents would be warned. The floor would get wet.

And then, the floor is floating or 、、、、、.

The way Topix writes is also very, very over the top and vicious.
