The lock to my house is the worst. It takes about 5 minutes of inserting, pulling the key out juuuust right, lifting, and turning before it will unlock. I literally bent my key trying to get into the house today. Is this unfuckable or should I just ask my landlord to replace the dumb thing?

Landlord. It’s their job.
