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 have never seen a light installed directly above a bathtub in the U.S., though.

Besides, is there a water pistol that is destructive enough to break the ceiling light by accident while playing in the bathtub?

If it is inside the tub, there is usually a glass door or a curtain attached or attached, so the floor may not be so flooded. I thought I was water gunning outside the bathroom tub.
If it's such a recent new construction, you wouldn't have floating floors all over the place. And anyone who would enter such a trendy, upscale, new apartment would have money to spare, so they wouldn't write a sentence like that. The water guns were probably played in the bathroom outside the bathroom. The floor is so sticky that it floats.

Having a poor tenant is not a hardship, it's a stingy tenant. Rich or poor, people who are dirty with money or stingy tend to make everything difficult.
Income and rent will be proportional, roughly.

Either one or the other.
Neither the people who water it nor the people who let people live in places that are not neat and clean. But many lenders are strong and dirty.

As I've seen in other landlords' topics, it's the tenants who have the tenants' shoulders, and the landlords, including the ones I know, who have the landlords' shoulders. Parallel lines everywhere. A lot of people rent if the place is nice, even if it's somewhat unkempt.
If you don't want to live in a place that is not properly maintained, look elsewhere.

A good tenant like #26 will be taken into account by the landlord when raising the rent, and both parties can feel good about living there. With a management company, though, they don't take it into account as much. I know someone who rents to Indians and when it breaks, the tenant fixes it and has lived there for over 10 years. Every time they move out, they have to spend more money and the rent is at market rate. I think it's better to have a good relationship with the landlord and live cheaply.

In the end, as #25 says,
> as in other landlords' topics, it's the tenants who have the tenants' shoulders, and the landlords, including those I know, who have the landlords' shoulders. Parallel lines everywhere.
Or.

Complimenting #26 as a good tenant is the manager's or landlord's perspective.
If tenants do everything because they can fix it, some managers and landlords will sit there.
Sometimes things that are not obvious can be taken for granted if they are done.

Yes. Makolin. If you're a landlord who can fix up a tenant and still give them a normal rent, you should leave. The story is that if you can rent at a discount, it's in your best interest to stay. Well, if it's twisted, there won't be a deal like that.

If it's a management company, you can't fix it. They will give you a flat rate. If you are a private landlord. If you are a private landlord and you repair it and give the rent normally without consideration, you can stop repairing it. I mean, I guess they can't repair it. It would be bad if you do it badly and break it.

If we have the compassion that Japanese people have, there is no problem !
We should seek a way of life that is mutually beneficial
rather than a way of life where lawyers make money by causing trouble ?
I value Japanese culture.

I guess that kind of feeling is fading in the U.S. It's like, if you don't insist, you lose. Instead of "give and take", it is more like "Take, Take, Claim Claim".

Emphasis on compassion and Japanese culture, that's not hard to understand.
However, it is not enough to say that there is no problem in America, a melting pot of races.
An acquaintance of mine did a lot of repairs on his own, but in the end he had a dispute with his landlord and moved out. It is difficult because each of us may have our own thoughts about it.

It is difficult because sometimes it is not possible to look at the world with the judgment of Japanese people.

If they do, just say no or get paid. No landlord would say such a thing, to another place for free.

If the incandescent bulb, which is electrified, is directly exposed to cold water, it might break. If it were installed over a bathtub, a waterproof cover would be mandatory. If the cover that should be there was not there for some reason, I think the landlord would be responsible.

If you've never seen the bathtub in that house, no one else can tell if it has a cover or not.

I think it's self-defeating that Topi didn't come out and say anything.
First of all, pouring water on a ceiling light is also ludicrous.
even if it is over a bathtub. Kids are the parents' responsibility, right?
