It's a long story so I'll start from the begining. I live in a room in a shared house (I have key to my own room). Before Easter the house was raided as the Police were trying to arrest one of the other tenants. As they weren't sure which room/flat was his the broke down all the doors from which they got no answer, including mine. The lock was held on by one screw and was not secure. I spoke to the landlord and he agreed to give me a new door/lock, which he didn't do for another month. In the mean time I was burgled whilst away for the weekend (if you can call it that, as door only needed a push) lots of my stuff was stolen, my tv, iron, handbags, perfumes, even clothes. They totally ransacked the place. I reported to the Police and they said they would have words with him, not sure if they did. What I need to know is can I make some sort of claim from him to replace my stuff? I have been told he should have liability insurance by law and I may be able to claim through that. I'm in UK
