Locksmiths in Southampton: Renters vs homeowners
Who pays for a locksmith depends on your situation. Here's what you need to know.
Homeowners
You’re responsible for most lock-related costs, including upgrades or replacements. If damage is due to a break-in or emergency, it may be covered by your home insurance. Tip: Always ask for a detailed quote before the job — it can help with claims or just peace of mind.
Renters
Locked out? Lost your keys? Contact your landlord or letting agent before calling a locksmith - they may already have a spare or a trusted contact. Faulty locks are typically the landlord’s responsibility. But if the damage is your fault or due to lost keys, you might need to pay.
Landlords
You’re responsible for:
- Maintaining working locks
- Upgrading locks where needed
- Changing locks between tenancies
