Hi everyone,
I have an important question that I need help with. I am in Ontario and have a tenant in my lower unit who has 3 kids.
One of her kids, 5-years old, has been leaving the apartment at night through the bedroom window or the front door in the middle of the night. The tenant is asking me to change all the locks on the front door and put a window stopper in the bedroom window.
I'm confused because I don't think this falls under my responsibility as the landlord. Isn't it her responsibility to keep her child under control so she doesn't sneak out at night? Where is the line for which I am responsible for, if any? It doesn't make sense to me that I am asked to change the locks just because the child can open them. So, should I be changing the locks again if the child learns how to open the newly installed locks too?
Please help.
