Tenant requesting ceiling fixture in a house that never had one.

[Account Closed]

New tenant asked for a ceiling fixture to be installed while electrical sockets are being repaired. This is a 1890's home that never had one.  What are my responsibilities for each bed room by law in NJ? any general advice?

Tenants rent as is. If they want upgrades landlords may choose to do the work but in all cases the tenants pays the cost.

Tenant: I would appreciate ....what ever the upgrade they require.

Landlord: Sure no problem. I will get you a quote on the cost and you can decide if you still want it. Once I complete the install it becomes my property and you leave it behind when you move out.
