I used to live in an apartment building that I noticed this problem...it comes from drain pipes connecting to each other, possibly not completely draining out, leaving used water in the drain pipes. I use to pour some bleach down the bathroom shower/tub drain....and the bathroom sink every couple of days before I left for work...fresh as a daisy when I got home!

Why are some people dirty?
There are lots of different reasons that people can be dirty. They could have a job where they have to work in a sewer or with human or animal waste. Others might not be able to shower often because they are homeless. And then there are those gross people who just don't care about hygiene or the fact that they smell awful and refuse to bathe, wear clean clothes, or try to smell nice.
Where can the sewer gas smell come from if it does not come from the drain of the ower- level on-a-slab shower?
One of the biggest culprits I have found for sewer gas smell is the floor drain many floor drains are seldom if ever used and if unused long enough the water in the trap will evaporate allowing sewer gas to enter the dwelling. this also applies to any trap which is not used regularly.
