I love the sense of humor on this forum

I'm little too sensitive to cold showers, but I do have alternative access to showers at campus health club facilities once the school year begins. Exercise “does the body good”! I'll try the voltmeter test and maybe I can find an electrician who is sympathetic to my case and would make a deal to check this electric problem in the apartment.
I actually called renters advocate “Hand” and was told that there was nothing they could do. As long as the hot water actually works it doesn’t matter how much it costs. I’m a human rights advocate, so I'll keep looking at ways to keep the owners honest.
