Illumination

Lighting is the responsibility of the tenant. This includes all types of lamps, such as energy-saving lamps, incandescent lamps, etc. This applies to lamps in the rental property as well as outdoor lamps. If there is so-called “emergency lighting”, this is at the expense of the landlord. Replacing fixtures in common areas is also at the expense of the landlord. Of course, if there is vandalism, this will be canceled and the costs will be borne by the tenant.

If the lighting is no longer working properly, first check whether the lamp is defective. This can be done by installing a new lamp. Make sure that you install a lamp with the correct wattage. If the power of the new lamp is too high, it can become too hot and the fixture can melt; if the wattage is too low, the lamp will burn less brightly. A good alternative is an energy-saving LED lamp. These consume considerably less power and provide more light. They also last longer. Energy-saving lamps cannot be installed at a light point where a dimmer is used. However, an LED lamp or an incandescent lamp can be used here.
