Hi my dad has asked for some advice about sorting the frame on his front door or the rotten wood either side of the frame and the lint above it. Please see video for explanation

Hi all,
I’m renting a house and noticed something in the back garden that I’m a bit unsure about (photos attached).
There’s a box outside that isn’t properly sealed from the weather. Inside it:
There are grey “weatherproof” outdoor sockets which I know are live, but the protective covers/latches are broken so they don’t close properly.
There’s also a black extension lead in the same box — this looks like a standard indoor extension, not a weatherproof one. I haven’t tested whether it’s live because I’m concerned it may have been exposed to the elements.
There’s also a larger unit labelled “transformer”.
My main concern is whether any of this is safe. If the sockets and/or extension lead are live and have been exposed to rain or moisture, is this a hazard?
Is this something I should be raising with the landlord as an urgent safety issue?
Any advice appreciated.
