The Best Apartment-Friendly Bidets
Renting a home or apartment has plenty of advantages, but there are limitations on how much you can personalize your space. Fortunately, installing a bidet in an apartment is definitely an option for most renters. We've selected our top-rated bidets for apartments, along with expert tips to help you find the perfect fit.
Can I Install a Bidet in My Apartment?
You can install a bidet in your apartment as long as your lease doesn’t restrict this type of modification. In most cases, bidets are allowed in apartment buildings. Check your lease for any mention of bidets or contact the building manager, but you should be in the clear!
We’re surprised more apartment buildings don’t encourage bidets, since they prevent plumbing issues by significantly reducing the number one cause of clogged toilets: toilet paper.
Discover the Best Bidets for Apartments
Bidet attachments and bidet seats are the two types of rental-friendly bidets that you can install yourself. Both of these options attach to the existing toilet and its water supply, making them a cost-effective and easy-to-install perk you can take with you if you move.
The Perfect Bidet Attachment for Apartments
Bidet attachments don’t use electricity, and they fit discreetly underneath your existing toilet seat. They’re simple, effective, and affordable. Installing one could help you save hundreds on toilet paper over time.
Our Pick: The SlimEdge is a cornerstone of our bidet attachment collection, combining easy installation and incredible value. We think it’s the best-value bidet on the market, and we think you will, too.
Bidet Seats with More Features – Still Apartment-Friendly
Bidet seats replace your existing toilet seat, with most requiring a 120V outlet nearby to power a range of innovative features. From a warm air dryer to a quiet, slow-closing seat and lid (your neighbors will thank you), bidet seats can have many of the same features as a full bidet toilet while being portable.
Our Pick: The BB-2000 has been our flagship product for a decade, and it’s still the industry leader. Enjoy a heated seat, warm air dryer, and adjustable water pressure controlled by a nifty wireless remote.

Tips for Choosing a Bidet for Your Apartment
Run through this quick checklist to determine how to install a bidet in your rental and which one to order:
- Check your lease: While most apartments allow bidets, check your lease. Better safe than sorry.
- Check for outlets: Make sure you have a 120V GFCI outlet near your toilet. You may need an extension cord to reach. If you don’t have a convenient outlet, choose a non-electric bidet attachment instead of a seat.
- Check your toilet dimensions: Most bidet attachments are universal, which means they’ll work with round and elongated toilets. Bidet seats come in both shapes; here’s how to tell which kind you have.
