Its the landlords responsibility to maintain the locks and keys on his property. You cannot fault the tenant when they ask the property manager to maintain the property, it is, after all, the landlords property, not the tenants. If the tenant were the owner, then all responsibility would devolve upon them for maintenance, insurance and all the rest. Since the landlord is the one reaping the profit of leasing the unit, the tenant has every right to demand that the property be maintained, including making sure that there are spare keys should one be needed. In short, change the mailbox lock, keep a spare key and give the tenant a new one. Its your job, not the tenants.
