My previous tenants moved in the main security door worked without a problem. Six months later they are moving out and the latch on it is broken. (the bit that goes in/out into the actual house is stuck in so it just slams open and shut)
Is this reasonable to deduct from the bond the full cost of a locksmith to come out and fix it? As one would expect, the new tenant expects it fixed ASAP.
There argument is "it's wear and tear and was on it's way out. We 'just happened' to be in the place when it's time was up".
Thanks
