Q & A with Prop West

Q) My tenant locked herself out of her unit, late at night. The resident manager refused to answer the door at this late house so the tenant had to call a locksmith to come. The tenant now claims that I am responsible for the cost of the locksmith since my manager refused to open the door. Am I responsible?

A) An apartment manager does not have to be available 24 hours a day. Your manager has every right not to answer the door at that time. The tenant is responsible for the cost of the locksmith.
