Downlights, the popular recessed lights in rental properties across Queensland, add elegance to living spaces. Understanding the responsibilities of tenants and landlords regarding downlights is crucial, especially when it comes to hard-to-reach locations.

Tenant’s Responsibilities:

Tenants are responsible for day-to-day maintenance, including replacing burnt-out light bulbs in downlights.

Landlord’s Responsibilities:

Landlords are responsible for installing, repairing, and replacing the downlight fixtures themselves. However, when downlights are in hard-to-reach locations, landlords typically take care of their maintenance and replacements.

In Queensland rental properties, tenants handle light bulb replacements, and landlords take care of downlight fixture maintenance and repairs, except in cases where downlights are in hard-to-reach locations. It’s essential to understand these responsibilities to ensure a well-lit and harmonious living environment for everyone involved.
