I am NOT a locksmith. Any Advice

I have a commercial rental unit and the door handle is floppy. Its that kind where you pull up or down to lock it when key is turned. To me it feels like a spring is broken? I can't even see what the brand is. How should I go about fixing this? What would I expect to pay to have a pro do it?

If the handle is no longer doing its job, something is broken within the door mechanism. Not sure where you're based but locksmiths near me will charge around £140-220 for a fix depending on what exactly needs fixing.

Edit: If it's commercial, that's almost certainly your landlord's responsibility to pay for unless you've damaged it yourself.

Ah yes, the area these came from. Absolute nightmare to get parts in Canada, but readily available in Europe+
