Every hotel room will provide a mean for stopping an intruder. Lock or chain.
This basement apt provided none. There was only a one way lock So upstairs tenant could walkin at will anytime.
We called the owner and explain the misgiving and he made no willing to remedy this problem. He could have bought a twenty dollars lock to accommodate the problem, but he sees fit not to do that , but to keep over $300 of deposit because we would Told him we will not occupy if he did not made the correction and provide a reasonable security for my grandchildren. All this was happening around 2:30 t0 3:30 PM of Monday July 17, on our first day of trip in Seattle.
We end up getting a hotel room for that night for $450.
I will not rent anything from this unreasonable landlord and we want to share this with other.
