I saw that :/ It seems attention seeking.White people are so strange... Gaby's mother tweeted: "Mama Bear is getting ANGRY!! Getting? He killed your daughter and left her to rot and NOW you are 'getting' angry? Weird.
Hasn’t happened to me. You would think they would ask for a key first before going to the expense.If you change the locks and your landlord finds out, be prepared for them to change the locks again and charge you for the inconvenience.
I understand the desire to do this for your peace of mind but, as a landlord, there's no way I'd be interested in politely asking for a key to a property I own. If you look at it that way, the perspective changes completely. The lease agreement I use for my tenants explicitly states that the locks aren't to be changed and if they are then the tenant is responsible for the expense of installing new locks. Honestly I'd seriously consider not renewing the lease if I had this happen. As a landlord, it's a red flag.Hasn’t happened to me. You would think they would ask for a key first before going to the expense.
I have no such clause, so I'm goodThe lease agreement I use for my tenants explicitly states that the locks aren't to be changed and if they are then the tenant is responsible for this expense.
I would double check this. I am using a pretty standard lease for properties in three different states and they all include this. If there is an emergency and they need to get in to shut off water, gas or whatever then this could delay them and make you responsible for the damage that results from that delay.I have no such clause, so I'm good
I hear you and I am prepared to pay.I would double check this. I am using a pretty standard lease for properties in three different states and they all include this.

I love this!!! Now, THIS, I can implement.I don't know if this makes any difference to someone but if you don't have a door camera or alarm, one thing you can do in the meantime is when you leave your apartment, put things a certain way and leave certain doors open. If someone comes in to hide, they are likely to move or switch something before hiding and you are bound to notice it as soon as you come in. If you do, leave immediately and call the police. Do not do the white people, "Is anybody there?" thing until Freddie Kruger comes out of the closet or laundry room to fillet you. I'm extra paranoid so I do this in addition to the door camera/alarm.
There is also the tiny piece of tape trick where you tape the door so that you can tell of someone entered while you are gone. Don’t be paranoid though. This kind of thing is incredibly rare and most women are killed by someone that they are dating.I love this!!! Now, THIS, I can implement.
Thank you.Was

Yes alwaysHopefully this camera setup will help her get the guy..... reminds me to always have my keys at the ready. No excessive fumbling.
This is so scary! I’m happy she was faster than he was. I wouldn’t be surprised if he‘s out on parole for harming someone. I’m tired of criminals getting released early…many of them shouldn’t be released at all.Hopefully this camera setup will help her get the guy..... reminds me to always have my keys at the ready. No excessive fumbling.
I have to put a color code on that key to locate it quickly.Yes always
having the
key in your
hand whether
it is your
car key as
you walk to it
or your door
key can come
in handy as
a weapon if
someone tried
to ambush you.
Check out
these tips.
I usually leaveI have to put a color code on that key to locate it quickly.
I have a lot of keys that look alike..... so the color code will help.I usually leave
a building with
car key already
in my hand
at the ready,
so no need
to locate it quickly.
Also before
exiting my car,
I have my house
key in my hand
at the ready.
Oh OK.I have a lot of keys that look alike..... so the color code will help.

Cute!!Oh OK.
I use key
covers (you
know they
had to be
images of
my relatives)
for the important
keys that I need
to distinguish
from others.
She needs to check the laws in her state because this sounds like crazy to me. You have to give notice here unless there is an emergency that could cause damage to the property. He is probably a pervert. She should move as soon as possible. In the short term tell him that he needs to knock and wait to be let in so that she doesn’t accidentally shoot him thinking that he is a burglar.My friend rents a house and her children were home alone including her teenaged daughter. The landlord entered without letting her know he was coming and the daughter was 1/2 dressed and in her room. She texted him and asked her to let him know next time and he told her "this is my home, don't be rude, you're just a renter." He also said as he entered, he knocked and announced himself to the children.
She is livid because she is recently divorced, the youngest are REALLY young and she feels extremely vulnerable. Many folk commented that legally he is at least supposed to announce himself. But I don't know the laws. A few landlords said the same (he is supposed to announce himself). I'd be livid.

Ugh and she said he's black. She says its happened before and there was a conversation and he ignores her. She is moving next month. We all think she should be reporting him.She needs to check the laws in her state because this sounds like crazy to me.

I was reading a Reddit thread where women were listing their favorite books and one called The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker kept coming up over and over and over again. One poster said that she gives the book to every young woman she knows who is about to start college. I added it to my list but haven't read it yet. But I believe it speaks to what you're saying @Chicoro, which is that we need to pick up on certain signs and trust our spidy senses.You can’t.
If someone wants to hurt you, it’s not difficult for them to do it, especially if you are not aware of their nefarious intentions. Women are especially vulnerable for many reasons. So you have to remain vigilant. Most importantly, trust your instincts.
Too often we dismiss that internal guidance as being over the top or, inaccurate. Always listen and act in accordance with it.
