6. CHANGING LIGHT<br />
BULBS<br />
The tenant is responsible <strong>for</strong> all<br />
minor maintenance updates<br />
within the property. This<br />
includes the changing of light<br />
globes.<br />
<strong>Tenants</strong> are also required to leave the<br />
property in the same condition when<br />
they vacate, so if all the light bulbs<br />
were working then they will be<br />
required to ensure they are still<br />
functioning when they leave.<br />
There can be some cases when it’s<br />
“prudent” <strong>for</strong> the landlord to take<br />
charge with the light bulbs. This would<br />
usually be in situations with unusually<br />
high ceilings or difficult access that<br />
could prove a danger to the tenant.<br />
Those over the age of 65, or who have<br />
a disability and no one to help, can call<br />
upon the Smoke Alarm and Battery<br />
Replacement Service provided by NSW<br />
Fire and Rescue.<br />
NOTE: Ensure all light bulbs are<br />
working when you vacate to avoid<br />
paying <strong>for</strong> the replacement of them.<br />
