The flat we rent was broken into and in the process the front door lock was broken. This cost £100 to fix. We had to pay this as we had to get in a locksmith to fix the door on the evening of the burglary.
Now the landlord is saying that they aren't liable for this cost as burglary damage is the tenant's responsibility.
Is this correct?
Shelter suggests it's usually the landlord's responsibility, what does usually mean?
