My sister was recently robbed in her apartment without forced entry on the door. The tenant before obviously had keys made and given to neighbors. Prior to my sister moving in, the locks were never changed (however, management declared that they were). The afternoon that she was robbed, management and maintenance were the first individuals to show up at the scene to change the locks once again. And would not provide the proof of the last lock change or provide the lock to my father or the police when they arrived for further investigation. The management than inquired if we were blaming their staff for my sister's breakin. I think that there was a similar situation in Tampa where the woman sued and won because the apartment complex put her life at risk. My sister spoke to corporate and corporate did not care one bit about the incident just stating that hers was not the only break-in reported without forced entry and there have been several others within the apartment complex.
My sister has been devestated since the break-in and feels violated. Is there anything that I can do to bring the landlord (aka apartment complex) to court? Are there any laws or documents that I may utilize to prove them wrong in changing the lock and putting my sister's life at risk?
