From the Forum: Would You Let Your Tenant Install a DIY Light Fixture?

A crafty Brownstoner reader wants to install a DIY chandelier that requires special electrical work.

I live in a rental and I would like to install a chandelier in the living room. I made the Lindsey Adelman DIY chandelier. I plan to have a licensed electrician install the fixture. However, after reading through some blog posts and comments about the fixture, it seems like some people would be hesitant to install the fixture in a rental because if it’s not a UL listed lighting fixture, it negates the insurance on the building. If you were a landlord, would you be hesitant to let your tenant install a DIY light fixture even if an electrician installed it?

Has your tenant ever asked to do something like this? Did you let them? Share your thoughts in the original post.
