My friend said Maintanance personel knock a few times, then throw the damm door wide open.catching many day sleepers in thier nities !

Put a chair or something to block the door, then they'll have to know. Or get a small doorchain, they cost about five bucks.

Just stand butt naked in front of the door and when they open it. Dont move.

There is also a law that says that a landlord must give you three days notice before he even knocks to come in...My landlord used the excuse of a leaking faucet next door to knock loudly on my door and barge in claiming he needs to inspect the pipes under my sink....then he proceeded to comment that I keep the place clean, meaning he was also interested in knowing the condition of my apartment and wanted to make a suprise inspection, like some Gestapo thug.

I could sue his slimy, immoral ass. I'm sure he would evict me but then I could sue him for breaking and entering and unlawful eviction, then he would counter-sue me, and....you can see where this is going.....

he has somethin across the door now that stops full intry door opens an inch now..alarms ring out and startle the tennants when door opens ..leading some to fear breaking or key intry, by pass key thieves ......door chain would be little hel then.most apt complex do not want door chains..the bastards ..serious extra heavyslide bolts work well..but tenants may not be allowed to use them while inside thier units without a lawyer pressing the issue ....no wonder thier are so many victims in america.. stupid rules prevent logical defense strategies against preditors ..

Buy a Rottweiler.

many apt complexes have a weight limit and refuse large dogs now..the slidebolt restrictions also seriously endanger all tennants from pass key thieves ..many apt complexes wil not install high security dead bolts allowing serious key control ability . ..
