> France & Greece mostly. Maybe it’s just a French thing. About 2/3 of the places we stayed when we were in France a few years ago just had a shower in the corner of the bathroom with a drain below, no shower curtain at all. Greece was like that as well, but that was 20 years ago, things may have changed since then.

The thing is, those floors are MEANT to tolerate loads of water, right? My bathroom (in Denmark) is like that, and is tiled with a drain in the center of the floor. This situation is very different of course, than what the OP concerns.

If the tenant is USED to that and treating this floor (which must flood) as the kind I described, well…what a dumbass. That’s really no excuse, is it?
