    Attempted break and enter but can't contact RE

    That sounds a bit scary. Don't you have the name of a tradesman you can contact (usually written on the lease?) in the event of an emergency?

    There should be a list of emergency tradesmen listed on your lease but an attempted break in may not be regarded as an emergency so you might have to pay for new locks yourself if you call the locksmith.

    TBH if there was no major damage to my property I wouldn't regard an attempted break in as a reason for my tenant to contact me urgently. If the attempt to break in failed I would regard the locks as adequate.
