Hay guys. M

mate is having a few issues with his landlord. Basically his front door has been getting harder to close and now the key is stuck in the door. The landlord says its my mates problem and that he must get it fixed.

Obviously my mate doesnot want to do this. Is there any way to for ce the landlord to do this or at least a little payback if he cant. Im a landlord myself and unless there was clear abuse i would fix the issue. I know some tennants are awfull but my mate and his mrs are good people trying to save to buy their first house.

Let me know your thoughts

The bloke is a ass, get your mate to replace the lock but not give him a new key.

If there is no sign of abuse and it is clear general wear and tear then it is the landlords duty to fix it. Tell your mate to get a locksmith round and send the bill to the landlord.

I guess the problem is that if my mate gets the lock fixed the landlord will not pay. But his only other option is to not have a door lock. Ive already told him to keep the key so the locks have to be changed when he moes out

and the go back and knock off the bottom rad pipe :devil2:

Also not a bad

Is the door locked or unlocked when he cant move the key?

Locked.. fire escape hazard.

Unlocked.. insurance will be invalid.

Either way it's the landlords job to fix the lock, is there a letting agent

involved?
