What can I do if the head of security allowed my ex-boyfriend into my apartment while I was out of town even though he is not nor has he ever been on the lease?
I don’t feel safe anymore knowing that the security is that lax. I moved into this particular building because you have to have a pass key to enter the building as well as use the elevator from the 1st floor. My ex did visit often at one time, however he never lived there. Also, he is my ex because I learned the hard way he had begun using and became addicted to heroin. He stole jewelry, household items and thousands of dollars from me in the last several months of our relationship. I’m scared of him and to know he entered my apartment with the help of “my” security. What can I do?

I can surely understand how you feel. And although security should have double checked with you and made sure he had legal access, the probably relied on the past pattern. What I would do is to speak with the head of security and advise them that he is no longer in the picture and that no one is to have access to the apartment with out your written consent. Make sure that the head explains it to every shift. And if you think that he might have a key change the locks. Good luck.
