Landlords and tenants can be responsible for light bulbs
The Residential Tenancies Act does not cover who is responsible for supplying or replacing light bulbs.
It’s a good idea to talk about this at the start of the tenancy and note what you agree in the tenancy agreement. It may be that the landlord supplies working light bulbs at the start of the tenancy, and the tenant replaces any that stop working.
As non-standard light bulbs can be more expensive or harder to fit, the landlord may agree to pay for these.

01. The tenant must not carelessly or intentionally damage the premises.
02. To recover compensation for damage to the premises, the landlord must prove
that the damage occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and
tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not
carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for
the actions of people at the premises with their permission. See sections
40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
03. Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's
insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or
four weeks' rent (or four weeks' market rent in the case of a tenant paying
income-related rent). See section 49B(3)(a) RTA.
04. Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance,
the tenant's liability is limited to four weeks' rent (or market rent). See section
49B(3)(b) RTA. Where insurance money is irrecoverable because of the
tenant's conduct, the property is treated as if it is not insured against the
damage. See section 49B(3A)(a) RTA.
05. Tenants are liable for the cost of repairing damage that is intentional or which
results from any activity at the premises that is an imprisonable offence. This
applies to anything the tenant does and anything done by a person they are
responsible for. See section 49B(1) RTA.
06. Damage is intentional where a person intends to cause damage and takes the
necessary steps to achieve that purpose. Damage is also intentional where a
person does something, or allows a situation to continue, knowing that damage
is a certainty. See Guo v Korck [2019] NZHC 1541.作者: 237840 时间: 2021-7-12 15:30:30
估计目的就是列出一些掐头去尾的误导性的事来引导大家都说无论这些事是不是房客造成的,都是房东应该负责的,包括给他提供居住期间消耗性的灯泡等。还有就是让不明全部真实情况的网友给他出一些害房东的方法吧。以此来威胁我,或采取进一步行动吧。我会持续关注并采取相应行动。作者: Bob Wang 时间: 2021-7-13 12:13:27
