I'm going to get electrocuted! *now with pics!*

[Keego]

Our timer fan switch in the bathroom broke, it won't turn off after a pre-set time, so I'm going to replace it


Should I ask the landlord first?

 

[Rallispec]

Be careful.

You should let the funeral parlor know as well. Might get a better rate if you have reservations.

Turn off the power to your apartment or to the bathroom and check the wires with a voltmeter before touching them.

I would inform him first what you intend to do, and if it is because something broke, I would ask to get reimbursed for it. Do not ask to have it deducted from the rent though. Most landlords I have dealt with do not like to take anything out of the rent.

Just my own .02

It will help if you make a small puddle of water on the floor and stand your aluminum ladder in that puddle, dont forget to remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the ladder.
