Shower or Tub for rentals?

[Jacob Wiltshire]

Hey,

I need to replace a tub in a bathroom at a rental property and noticed that putting in a shower may be incrementally cheaper than replacing with a tub. I also imagine injuries are less common in showers than bath tubs.

However in saying that I rented for years and always saw tubs.

What are thoughts on showers vs tubs in rental properties?

Always have at least one bathtub. Not having a tub eliminates a lot of people who may need/want a tub - those with young kids, a pet, prefer to relax in a tub, need to sit down to bathe, etc.
