A:
If you find yourself locked out of your apartment because of an intruder, your safety is the top priority. First, ensure you are in a secure location away from any immediate danger. Call 911 to report the intrusion and let the authorities handle the situation. They can provide protection and help you regain access to your home safely.
Next, reach out to a trusted friend or neighbor who might have a spare key or can assist you in this difficult time. Having someone you trust nearby can offer both practical help and emotional support. If you don't have someone to call, consider contacting local community organizations that support individuals in your situation.
Once the immediate threat is addressed, think about securing your apartment to prevent future incidents. You might need to speak with your landlord about repairing or replacing the deadbolt lock. Ensuring your home is safe will help you feel more secure moving forward.
