Don't know about RI, but I have it in leases that tenant is responsible for that, plus replacing batteries in smoke detectors, etc.
When my daughter was renting, her move-out checklist stated that $2 would be deducted from SD for each lightbulb missing! --75.72.xxx.xxx |

It is the tenant's responsibility if they are inside the unit. I charge 1 dolla for each missing or burnt out light bulb.
On a related note...who's responsibility is it to change the toilet paper and paper towels? You guessed it.... --199.3.xxx.xxx |

When the tenant moves in, all the light fixtures have working bulbs. I won't replace bulbs again until I'm preping it for a new tenant. --66.176.xxx.xxx |

Speaking of toilet paper. Had an unit come open. Been working there a couple of days. Then the "urge" came. No tepee. Usually carry a roll in the truck... nope, used it already. Talk about a mad scramble for wipe....
Tenants for lights inside the unit, LL on the outside if not a SFH. --71.0.xx.xxx |

I always replace the batteries in smoke detectors and put the date on them. Then I send a note thanking the tenant for letting me do this and keep a copy for my files. --4.252.xxx.xx |

It's simple.
When a tenant rents all bulbs should be working.
When they move it should be the same.
What they do in between time is their business.

I firmly believe the person that first notices the bulb burned out should replace it. So, I guess that means the tenant since the landlord last seen the bulb burning bright before the tenant rented the dwelling. Right? Case closed.

I make sure every light works properly when offering a unit for rent. New batteries in smoke detectors, State here law requires. Had one case where I did not install new battery, started chirping while I was showing the unit. First time I go to an empty unit, I take a roll of paper. I check/tighten/lubricate all locks/latches/hinges too. --66.44.xxx.xxx |
