Hello all - it’s been since March 13th that we moved into a rental apartment and that same date is when we asked for a second key for the rental. April 2 I was told it was in the making and still no key. Is it possible and legal to cut Lockwood restricted keys? We haven’t locked our apartment since move in because my partner and I work different hours and there’s probably been 20+ emails/texts about it but keeps getting delayed

6 months into a lease and within week 3 get a phone call saying bad news but the property is being sold. The selling agent came in a few days later to take photographs and said open homes will be done in future.

The agent has currently done 4 open homes - and no intention to sell forms provided. The agent provided ONE entry notice, and did an open home this Saturday and didn’t even ask for consent. My partner and I were both at work and didn’t know an open home was taking place until I received this text: “Open home all finished!! There was cash sitting on the coffee table 😅 I hid it under the tissue box and then put it back haha”.

I lost my cool at the previous incidents and this was the nail in the coffin, I don’t know why I hadn’t googled the address of the rental but once I did I noticed all the photos in the sales post had all our belongings in it with no editing done - which sucks because we just moved and unpacked when those photos were taken and my partner put in a lot of time and effort to make it feel homely.

I’m generally easy going but this entire situation is making me see red and I’m in need of guidance from anyone been through anything similar - I’ve never had such a bad experience with a supposed “professional” before. Having multiple strangers in my home while at work has reallyyy rubbed me the wrong way!!
