Nadia Hale Tenant broke the key and now wants me to replace the lock or key

Hi Nadia,If she bent the key trying to turn a non-turning lock (not her fault) WD-40 the lock or replace it as defective and you pay.If she bent the key using it as a screw driver or prying tool she pays.I have twisted off a key in a defective lock before, it's easy to do.I like the Schlage Grade 1 deadbolts with a Hall and Closet lock set replacing the front door knob (so no lockouts).Good Luck!

Peter Walther VA Supreme Court finds restrictions unenforceable
13 April 2022 | 12 replies
If the court is persuaded the change is sufficient to nullify the restriction then all the named parties right to enforce is extinguished.I've had attorneys representing property owners ask who needed to be named in such a suit so that when concluded the underwriter would authorize the issuance of a policy w/o exception for the restriction.While many title people consider a Letter of Indem a panacea for a defect in title, more important in my opinion is would an informed and knowledgeable purchaser or lender, close on the purchase and loan knowing there was a risk of future litigation.
