Hard-boiled eggs should be kept in the refrigerator and eaten within 5 days.
If you leave hard boiled eggs in the fridge any longer than this and the salmonella risk starts to rise very quickly.
The reason hard boiled eggs dont last as long as raw eggs is that in cooking the eggs, a natural protective chemical layer (produced by the mother hen) is washed off the porous eggshell, allowing germs to enter.

Kept in the refrigerator in a bowl or on a plate with plastic wrap they should last up to 5 days.

About one day in my house, unless they've been pickled, and then they last about an hour.
