Master key - replacing locks

So, funny not so funny situation, I discovered that my house key is in fact a master key and as such it opens up every studio inside my student building. Furthermore several postal box keys are also matches. I've requested, in an urgent manner, that the landlord replace all the other locks. Can they be held legally accountable if they do not respond to this request? Whether civil or criminal court. We are prepared(the residents) to hire an attorney in case they fail to respond.

Utility costs deducted from deposit

Hello everyone,

I recently received a response for a notice of no default I issued last month to my previous landlord. They are proposing that I pay 150 euros out of my original 900 euros deposit to cover for utility excess fees. Is this even legal ? Or ? As far as I'm aware utilities are not covered by the deposit. When I asked my former housemates who live there if they had received any requests to pay excess utility costs I was told that they did not receive anything. What's your advice ? Take the offer or take them to court to take 900euros(initial deposit)+interest ?
