Should I be the one to pay?

A guy who is renting my place while I am overseas just rang me and said he locked himself out and I must pay for the locksmith because I didn't leave spare keys. Is that true? My parents are old and asleep and I am not going to bother them as they never wanted me to rent it out..😖 is that my responsibility? I am overseas and he wants me to pay by credit card

It would depend on your contract with him, but he was the one that locked himself out so let him be an adult and handle it.

@Fungirlmmm we don't have a contract per se...He is staying for two weeks or untill he gets his own place. He payed me two weeks upfront and no bond. I just want him gone now😖

@Awfullybrave Maybe you can offer to half the locksmith with him if he agrees to get his stuff and get out

@Fungirlmmm That sounds like a good compromise..I may have to give him back one week rent too ..My dad was right, this is a nightmare 😞

@Awfullybrave I would make sure I text him anything so I have proof of it.
