Both are mentioned in the lease. Can I charge the landlord for 2 copies if I don't get 2 keys?

Thanks for your answers.

No.. you can go have a duplicate set made... which of course you will have to hand over when you move out. It only costs couple bucks, don't be so cheap.

How do you plan to "Charge" them anyway... great way to piss them off and make sure they don't do anything more than they absolutely have to do, or at the very least... give you a whopper of a rent increase the month after the lease expires..

Okay, just asking. You are absolutely right, thanks for your perspective.

When I had roommates, we always bought at least one extra key. Sure is a cheap way to avoid paying the landlord a fee for either letting you in or a new key or both.

Maybe I came across as a bit brash... but what I mean is the less you impose on the landlord, the less problems it will cause you down the road. Particularly if it's a landlord with only a one or a few properties.

Of the 16 years I was a renter at one place or the other, 13 of those saw no rent increases over the previous year because of how we handled ourselves with the landlords. Yes that was over three different places with three different landlords. And no not everyone was able to do what we did to achieve that. But it basically breaks down to , you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. We saved them money and they reciprocated that when the lease was up for renewal.

Two were private owners renting, the third was a realtors office that managed rental properties as well as sold Realestate.

Mentioned how? I'm curious as to the word mentioned. Usually the people on the lease are the leaseholders, people who are just occupants might be "mentioned", but not considered leaseholders or tenants. Giving them a key would be the responsibility of the leaseholders, not the landlord. However, the landlord should give a key to each of the signed tenants. But I agree with smoothy. Unless these are very expensive keys, I wouldn't make an issue of it.
