Can untrained landlords change light fictures and outlets?

[Eric Hathway]

Can untrained landlords change light fixtures and outlets? I am not a licensed electrician, but I am more than capable of changing out light fixtures and replacing outlets and switches as an upgrade. Obviously, if something was blown, I would defer to professionals to find a bigger issue, but any problem with swapping out an old ceiling light?

I'm trained in making money, but I still change out fans, switches, etc.. just make sure you turn off the main breaker or you'll be shocked at the results.
