Is the tenant responsible for replacing ballasts?
Hi Bigger Pockets! Hopefully a quick and easy question; Are commercial tenants responsible for fixing bad ballasts in the florescent light fixtures in their suites, or is that the job of the landlord?
The only lines in the lease describing who pays for repairs that could pertain to lighting/electrical in the individual units are these:
"The Tenant agrees to maintain Property in good order and repair, normal wear and tear expected. If Tenant does not promptly perform its maintenance and repair obligations as set forth herein, Landlord may make such repairs and/or replacements and Tenant shall promptly pay the costs of the same.
....Landlord shall keep the common areas and all major systems serving Property and/or the Common Areas in good working order and repair, normal wear and tear expected."
Thanks in advance!
