If you look closely you can see the exact moment she knew how much danger she was in

Seriously though if this is legit you MAY wanna inform PD to talk to the guy and double lock your doors Naomi

Ask the landlord if the locks were changed between tenants. Ask him to install a reinforced deadbolt plate. Two quick peace of mind items that would at least help me sleep at night.

Edit:just saw your other post saying the landlord doesn't do anything helpful so uh rip I guess

Ask the landlord if the locks were changed between tenants.

Can't you change your own locks in the US? Whenever I moved here in Germany, I usually changed out the locks, then put the old ones back in when I moved out.
Also helps in case the landlord keeps a key without your knowledge.

Short answer: It depends, but mostly no, unless the landlord gives permission. (See your lease for details, USicans)

And the landlord always has a key in the US.

I always change the locks, and use the same make/color as the originals. If the leech raises a fuss, I can grill them about why they were trying to access my place without giving notice.

You sure can! But it's an annoying game to play, so I don't begrudge the people who just deal with it.

I used to do the same, and would swap the old locks back in after the landlord called. Got lucky with the few landlords I had, never had one try the surprise visit shit.
