I’m a student in Manchester, living in a shared house with 3 other people. The tenancy is an assured shorthold tenancy. The landlord is notoriously cheap, and my lock does not work- I can’t lock my bedroom door from the outside when I leave the house.
He’s refusing to put a lock on my door, and when I questioned him about this he told me to insure all of my belongings. I said I was anxious and he then said to seek therapy?
Is it a legal requirement for him to install locks on my door?
