Hi,
Does anybody have any views on this...? My property manager e-mailed me this recently.
Just a quick email - we did a maintenance inspection at your property yesterday and the tenants reported that the light in the stairwell isn't working. It is the tenants responsibility to change light bulbs, however, as it is so high they would likely need to employ someone with a step ladder in order to replace the bulb. Do you mind if we organise this? I can send my handyman, otherwise I will advise the tenants that they need to organise it themselves.
Should I pay for a handyman to change that lightbulb everytime it fails? If a tenant has a fall on the stairwell and is injured will I be legally accountable to pay any medical costs if I failed to ensure that the stairwell light was working? Hope someone can help me.
In gratitude, Mike
