Read the lease carefully. Two years ago some tenants in NYC won a lawsuit against their landlord for not giving them keys.[1]

Thanks! Forgotten about that (I see that Jonathan Pryce is young, so my lapse is to be forgiven).

Video not available, in the UK at least. Although I think I know the scene you mean.
