Most apartments are only held to what they offer in their contract. We were in one for a few months, while renovating our house – I mean gutting our house. There was a clause that would allow us to break our contract if a reasonable attempt to provide a safe complex or safe housing, wasn’t provided. That was within the complex, not the surrounding areas. Now, we lived in a “safe” area and had no problems, but you certainly cannot expect the complex to monitor all the people that move in and out of the areas surrounding your apartment complex.
Please understand that I understand your concern; however, you cannot live in fear. I am a rape victim, believe me, I understand. 19 years ago, I was attacked, but life has moved on for me. I look at those sites, but I don’t obsess. I’d never leave my house, if I did.
You are responsible for you. You are responsible for being as safe and aware as possible – but you will never be able to control the actions of others. Just be aware of your surroundings. If something doesn’t “feel right” it might not be, be more aware and pay attention to what is going on.
Just because someone isn’t on the list, doesn’t make them safer than those that are – meaning you never know what may happen in life.
Be safe, be responsible – that is the best thing you can do.
