Nothing is quite as irritating to a landlord as burnt out light bulbs. Whether replacing them is officially the responsibility of the tenant or the landlord, you will eventually get stuck with replacing that light bulb at some point.

Thankfully, the fluorescent light bulb can held to ease the burden. The price for these bulbs has gradually dropped through the years, making them much more affordable. Not only that, but considering that the bulbs lifespan can last for years, the small difference in price can be well worth it.

Even if you don’t replace all the bulbs throughout your units with fluorescents, it is a great timesaver for exterior and basement lights. Do yourself a favor and go buy a few packs.
