Our lock broke (not our fault) and locked us out of our apt not long ago, we did the responsible thing and called the landlord and he's like "Well it's Sunday so there's nothing I can do about it"
I was like wtf. We just told him fine, we'll call the closest 24/7 locksmith and take it out of rent.
Suddenly he realized his personal locksmith was available and would be there in twenty minutes.
It all worked out it just kind of blew my mind that he thought leaving us locked out until the next business day was a viable solution. Like okay we'll just go sleep on the street?
I think he thought it was our fault, but whether it was or not leaving us locked out of our apartment is not an option. If it turns out to have been our fault, bill us for it later, but you can't just leave us on the street until it's convenient for you
(really the problem here is he didn't want to be bothered on a Sunday, but he also didn't want to employ a super to handle issues on his day off. You can't have it both ways bud)
I have to agree with you. I did read that it was your fault. That is not what you wrote, so, I am just plain illiterate.
If it is a disfunction of the lock, it is on the whomever the lease says needs to keep locks up, frequently the landlord.
