My Renter-Friendly Hack for Changing an Ugly Shower Head (Without Losing Your Deposit)<\/h1>\n

Let’s talk about the rental-bathroom despair.<\/p>\n

You know the one. You\u2019re paying an ungodly sum for a square box of an apartment, and every time you step into the bathroom, you\u2019re greeted by a crusty, calcified piece of plastic metal from 1994. It spits out water like a dying lawn sprinkler. It\u2019s an aggressive, needle-thin stream that somehow manages to miss your head entirely while aggressively soaking your ears. You stare at it on day one of your lease and think, “I am going to live with this garbage for the next twelve months.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Stop right there. Here’s the ugly truth: you don\u2019t have to. Landlords won’t do it because it costs money and requires manual labor. But you can fix it in about four minutes. Better yet, you can do it without leaving a single trace of evidence behind when you pack up your boxes and leave. I\u2019ve lived in six rentals over the last decade, and I\u2019ve swapped the shower head in every single one of them. Not once have I lost a security deposit over it.<\/p>\n

The right technique means zero scratches on the rental’s original plumbing fixtures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
