It depends on your bylaws, with mine if they need to access my unit in a situation like that or for fire we need to provide them with a spare key or yes I am repsonsible to cover the charges of a locksmith. Some people choose to provide a key, others do not.

In my bylaws there is a clause for anything not covered in a wall that its the owners responsibility to have someone be checking on the unit.

So in your situation if its the same as mine it depends where the leak was coming from. If it was piping under the sink or the sink overflowing or toilet overflowing then I would have to pay for plumbers fees.

If it was a pipe within the wall the condo has to pay but I would still have to pay for the locksmith if I didnt leave a spare key with the building manager.
