Can I ask my landlord to install a bedroom lock?
I am planning on moving in to a new flat soon, but the room I'll be staying at doesn't have any door locks. It is a bit concerning knowing that anyone could come into my room while I'm gone and I wouldn't know it. I know the odds of that happening are probably not very likely, but for my own peace of mind I'd really like to have a lock installed. Is it reasonable to ask the landlord to do this? (But would that mean that they'd need a copy of the keys too? If so- that defeats the purpose, because they'll be living at the same flat...)
