Locksmiths in Leeds: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your property in Leeds or West Yorkshire, you’re responsible for arranging and paying for locksmith services. After a break-in, your insurer may ask for evidence of approved locks, so keep any receipts or paperwork safe.

Renters

If you’re renting, things are slightly different:

• If the lock is faulty or the property is broken into, the landlord is usually responsible for replacing or repairing it.
• If you’ve lost your keys, you’ll normally need to cover the cost of a locksmith yourself.
• Always check your tenancy agreement and contact your landlord or letting agent before booking a locksmith, unless it’s an emergency.
