I just have to tell you my PITA college student story.

I got a call about 2 or 3 days after renting to 3 college girls. There was water pouring thru the kitchen ceiling...a real flood!

I got my maintenance guy over there fast...I jumped into the car and got there fast.

What we found in the bathroom above was the entire room soaked...walls..floor..vanity..you name it. Soaked. One of the girls took a shower without any shower curtain at all. I asked her what her plan was to keep the water in the shower....I just got a blank look!

I told them...DUH..you need to put a shower curtain in!!!! AND..they would be paying to repair the ceiling below.

Paid my guy to cleanup and fix the ceiling.

a week later..I get another panic call... water flowing thru the ceiling AGAIN. I dash over there... same thing..but, this time the only thing in the bathroom that was dry was the shower curtain!! There it was still in the package on the toilet tank.

Apparently, I was supposed not only to buy shower curtains..but install them..and probably open and close them for the princess too.

I left the ceiling a stained crumbly mess for them..and they paid to fix it again after they moved out.

THEN...I installed shower doors.
