I have a question for members.
I own a block of 4 flats. A few years ago I installed a security key system which means that Keyscan only be cut with the permission of the landlord... and by the samelocksmith who first installed the locks.
The best thing about this is that the landlord has controlover how many keys are issued for the flat. It gives tenant protection because it means previous tenants have nothad extra keys cut to come back and rob newbie tenants........
I have just had a tenant leave and they were issued with 2keys which it has on the tenancy agreement however they only returned one.
I have had a quote from the company to change the 2 barrelsinside the locks front and back door and issue 2 new keys is $111. To just cut another one of these keys is$15....... I want to charge them to change the locks because I want any newtenants to have peace of mind of security and thats the whole reason why i paidfor these locks in the first place
My previous tenants are threatening to take me tenancytribunal saying that they should not have to pay the money to change the locksthey should only have to pay to have 1 extra key cut...... for the one theylost......
Has anyone had any experience with this before?
