which is why when i came home that night it was the only door that was open plus the gate behind it.

so what should i do?

ask for compensation from the landlord? (and if he refuses, take him to court?)
I would think he is liable because he didn't get a locksmith in to do it..the question I would of asked him, are you a qualified locksmith?

I would also try and contact the local tenancy tribunal/ombudsman in your state and find out where you stand because I would think he would have a case to answer...
