Your landlord has an obligation to provide you with a secure living environment -- a place that has working locks, etc. Your landlord also has an obligation to not cause any interference with your quiet enjoyment of the premises by negligently failing to provide a secure living environment. If you have notified your landlord of an issue with the premises, and (s)he has failed to address those issues; and if subsequently you suffered loss because of theft that resulted from those issues, then your landlord should be liable for the loss. Hope that helps.
