I would get one, but my apartment lease forbids them on "water damage" reasons. I've only seen a clause like this in my most recent lease.

The reason for this is that bidets have had a massive upswing in popularity, and unfortunately many are poor quality and/or fit, installed incorrectly, or both. My family mostly works in the trades and I did as well in college, would not call myself a pro but I'm the friend you call when you have a plumbing problem and want an opinion before calling in a real plumber.

The number of poorly fitting bidet attachment seats that have been badly installed I've seen is quite high. If I owned the bathroom and someone wanted to add a bidet, I too would have my concerns. A ban is crazy, but I think it's totally valid to at least have a plumber inspect and sign off on the work.

Not sure what you mean by poorly fitting. I've only purchased one bidet attachment but i don't see how it could do any damage unless you don't turn the water off or empty the toilet tank on install. Are you saying the water line leaks on some bidets after install?

Point out that literally every single house in SE Asia has one.

Hm yeah but they also use squat toilets in many cases. I can't deal with those.
