My apt was recently burglarized . 3 men entered my unit thru my kitchen window ( I live on the top floor of a 6 story bldg). They rapelled down from the roof and came into my unit. I was robbed at gunpoint at 3am. This is the 2nd time my place has been hit in the last year- I was not home the 1st time.
My next door neighbor was also a victim of armed robbery and the police feel the intruders access the bldg via the unsecured roof and come in the window.
My question: is the LL required to secure the rooftop and/or to install security bars,screens on our windows? There is also a fire escape right outside my bedroom window. If someone wants to get in, all he has to do is break the window.
Can I withhold rent until this is remedied?
HELP!! I don't want to move if I can avoid it.
