ITP V.013 UPDATE: FOR LANDLORDS and TENANTS

ITP  V.013 UPDATE:

BTW, if you don't like what I write in my journal, don't read it, and except these idiots can accept consequences. 

Don't let these cheap ass  landlords get away with bullshit, we all deserve better for how mutch we pay, irrelevant to the rare occasion of tenant lock outs via misplacing keys , we're not talking about that.
If there is an inadequate lock on your front door of your unit, or you landlord is too CHEAP and uses what is considered a "in house household lock" as for two years my unit door lock had a weird quirk to it (perhaps the unit lock is meant for a bathroom shared by multiple people) instead of primary front door lock, perhaps a building  inspector we love to fine his ass and shut down his building DOWN, and the tenant is not (DSS, rental subsidies, will not pay for illegal rentals although that's not my income) obligated to pay rent on an uninhabitable unit.
My unit door didn't always lock properly even from the inside, on and off for a year and half, I would find my door open, as I was waking up, inside my unit, and yes, the it was set to locked and close and locked my door.
DEADBOLT locks please.
FROM ABOUT.COM:

Your tenants should feel safe inside of their apartment. This means you should ensure all doors and windows are properly secured and have appropriate working locks. All front doors should, at the very least, have a deadbolt lock.

Every rented residential unit in Oregon, regardless of how low the rent is, must meet certain standards. These are called "habitability" standards.

A rental must be waterproof and weatherproof. Doors and windows should seal properly, and the roof, floors and walls should keep out wind and rain. Windows should latch, and all outside doors should have working locks. Those locks should work properly with the keys the landlord provides to the tenant.

NETPLACES.COM: Many state and local governments now require landlords to provide buildings that are habitable: safe, sanitary, and structurally sound and that comply with all health and safety codes. That means units must have:

Electricity
Hot water
Toilets and plumbing that work

Doors that lock
Unbroken windows with screens

No rats or insect infestations

Tenants have the right to privacy, quiet, and possession of a clean, livable unit. If anything breaks or doesn't work, the landlord must fix it in a timely fashion. Landlords have to maintain the property; if they don't, tenants can report any violation to health or housing authorities.
FROM HOME GUIDESSFGATE:
Ghosts aren't causing your door to open on its own; an out-of-whack frame is.
Even if a tenant can get around these lock quirks for years 70% of the time, why should they struggle with locking their unit door from the inside of the unit, bullshit.

For landlords whom don't provide adequate locks for their tenants living in apartments, NY STATE CIVIL TENANT LANDLORD LAW STATES: (I don't live in NYC and I don't need an intercom, but tenants must be provided with a lock, specifically dead bolt on their apartment doors) :
Also NY STATE law states a tenant can change the locks of their door at their own expense as the landlord must have a key.

Other wise, in NY STATE apartment rentals without adequate locks are considered  an illegal rentals or  uninhabitable unit via city and town building inspectors and and the landlord can not rent said unit to NO ONE.
These landlords can't argue that,  it has to work and be adequate as I found my unit door open multiple times in two years, as I locked it, while at home from the inside, WHILE AT HOME and it barely locked from  the inside.

CRIME PREVENTION
Landlords are required to take minimal precautions to protect against reasonably foreseeable criminal harm. For example, tenants who are victims of crimes in their building or apartment, and who are able to prove that the criminal was an intruder and took advantage of the fact that the entrance to the building was negligently maintained by the landlord, may be able to recover damages from the landlord.
ENTRANCE DOOR LOCKS AND INTERCOMS
Multiple dwellings which were built or converted to such use after January 1, 1968 must have automatic self-closing and self-locking doors at all entrances. These doors must be kept locked at all times, except when an attendant is on duty. If this type of building contains eight or more apartments it must also have a two-way voice intercom system from each apartment to the front door and tenants must be able to “buzz” open the entrance door for visitors.
Multiple dwellings built or converted to such use prior to January 1, 1968 also must have self-locking doors

Thanks to landlord for fixing it, I'm safe and secure and snug as a bug specifically within our constitutional rights as no one here will be stealing debut cards or ID.

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
