    Get yourself a plastic basin, you fill it a bit with water and you can clean the stuff there and then you rinse the dishes in your bathroom sink, you will be a lot more comfortable than trying do to everything in the bathroom sink

    My personal advice if you can afford the space would be to setup a proper kitchen sink. If you’re not familiar with plumbing, maybe some comrades and neighbors can help you out. Otherwise, setting up a sink is rather trivial and you can find plenty of videos to help you out: “flexible” (french name sorry don’t know the english name) for water input and PVC for water output requires little tooling. A sink and a tap are rather common to find for free on the streets, or can be bought second hand for 5-10€ a piece. Overall if you need to buy everything new you can do it for ~100€ (which is quite a budget but for such accommodation is not a luxury), but some stuff can fit under your coat at your construction shop and when i need to setup a sink for some less-skilled neighbors it usually costs me under 10€.

    PS: If you know some people with plumbing skills, it can be the occasion for them to teach you a few things. If they can spare two hours to help you out understand what you’re doing, don’t hesitate to be the person holding the tools throughout the entire process.

        From a legal perspective as a tenant, you can do any non-destructive modifications as long as you can revert them later on. Your landlord might be pretty mad about it though so if there’s a proper venue to request a decent sink, maybe try that first? (using registered letters, never use normal letters or phone for important interactions with your landlord is my personal advice)

            Because if the letter is not registered, it’s very easy for the other party to pretend the letter never existed in the first place. A registered letter they have to sign for so they cannot say doesn’t exist.

    I’m not going to make recommendations. I once saw a retail store manager using a toilet as a mop bucket and I thought that was disgusting.

    The large ones you can wash them wherever you shower or take a bath (assuming you have access to something like this sorry)
