Yeah,  sounds like something for my fiance lol. I'd just break everything worse. I'll have him Google everything you said so we can understand it and then call a plumber and see what's up. 

I know the landlord Jimmy riged the bathroom and all the pipes are tiny and run through the closet so I thought the problem could be that. 

we replaced the shower head with the one we bought and used at our old apartment with no problems, and the tub has the issue as well so it can't be the shower head. 

I just checked the sink in the bathroom,  and while the pressure feels fine to me it is lower than the rest of the house.  We're also not on well water.

 Water pressure in rest of house is fine,  and moving isn't an option because we signed a year lease and moved in about three weeks ago. Maybe less than that. 

Only the tub faucet and shower head have weak water pressure. It's also both hot and cold water that are weak at all times. 

Shower faucet has two handles. One for cold water and one for hot water. 

Hello! So my fiance and I are tenants in a lovely older home. Only problem is our bathroom water pressure is horrid. We called the landlord about it and they told us there is nothing they can do about the water pressure. 

So my question  is: can we call a plumber and have them look around to find the problem without asking for the landlord's permission? We also have yellow rusty water and because it's an older house we're worried the pipes are all rusty and bad and just want things checked out by a third party professional. Then we want to take that information to the landlord and have repairs done. 

We're also fine paying for the plumber and repairs ourselves if the landlord deems it unnecessary to fix. We just want our water pressure good and the water clean for ourselves. 

If it helps we live in Wisconsin.
