[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, there are all kinds of wireless security systems and camera's.  I would personally move as they are very expensive and will cost the same as a move.  I'd tell the landlord to sue me as two break-ins and a refusal to beef up security is not reasonable.[/quote]

13:23 here. While it is true that the start-up kit may costs a bit with monthly fee, but considering it is an apartment, she won't need that big of a system. 1-2 sensors to cover the window(s,) and 1 motion detector in the main living area, that should be enough and cost less than $300. I don't see the need for camera unless she wants to provide evidence to the police, but from OP, the police does not seem to care.

OP, I'd suggest your friend to read the contract again, since the landlord's threat to sue may just be an empty threat, if it is not in writing, it probably won't hold up in court. The cheapest choice is to buy fake security stickers for all the windows. Renter insurance might also be ideal, but I suspect the insurance company will cancel the policy if nothing is done to prevent further break-in.

Good luck to your friend.[/quote]
