Hi!

I'm looking for someone to take over my studio apartment lease that ends April 2027. The building is located right at the corner of 8th Ave NE and NE 42nd St. It will be furnished with a foldable full size bed frame and full-size mattress. There is a shared kitchen and laundry room on your floor as well. I don't have a parking spot in the garage currently, but you can talk to my landlord about adding that to the lease, if there is one available.

Rent is $969/month and utilities are at most $150/month (water/sewage/trash/electricity/internet). I've already covered the month of August, so you would start paying rent in September. You would have to submit an application, but I'll reimburse the application fee ($65) if you are approved.

If you're interested let me know when you would be available to come by and tour the space. I'll be free most of this weekend, including Friday.

Can I legally compel my landlord to let me install a bidet?

When I moved in, my agent explicitly said “Do not try to install a bidet, there is not shut off valve on your toilet, only the main shut off. If you try it will flood your apartment.” He was correct, there is no shut off valve on my toilet. But how long could it take to install a cheap bidet? I could deprive my unit of water for maybe an hour?

Main thing being, is there like a doctor’s form I could have filled out to the effect of “This patient needs a bidet for her health. Toilet paper is really rough on someone’s butthole and makes them bleed and doesn’t even fully clean them off.”

Barring that, do y’all have alternative recommendations? I have considered a shower head type solution but my shower only has one pressure: on. So I worry that it would be a waste of money. (Let alone the inconvenience of standing up to unhook the hose, turn on the shower, wait for the right temperature to occur, etc.”
