2. My lease actually states that it is my responsibility to add a separate lock so the LL isn't responsible for any shenanigans.

My lease doesn't state that, but yeah, it was strongly recommended that I add my own top lock when I moved in, as the bottom lock is the same key as many other tenants in the building have.

Bottom line: most LL's won't have a problem with you adding your own top lock.
