Stolen property in shared house by keyholder. Who is liable?
Comments

How would the Landlord changing the locks have made any difference if it is someone who lives with you now and has a key that is responsible. If he chnages them now I take it he will still have to give a key to the untrustworthy person.
Sorry that you are living with someone you can't trust, next time lock the bike to something secure inside the property.0 -
Of course the LL wouldn't be responsible!right, so if there was a break in by a burglar, then the landlord would also not be responsible for paying for the tenants missing/damaged belongings caused from this act of crime...
If you live in a property, its YOUR job to insure your goods....NOT the owner/LL.0 -

Yes, that's was my point to the OP - it's not the landlord's responsibility to pay for stolen belongings for a tenant, whether it's an inside job from a dodgy flat mate (as suspected in this case) or a break-in by a burglar.0
