TERRIBLE security / maintenance problems in rented apartment?

Q:Oh I am FUMING with anger this morning.

Basically I live on a 5th floor 'luxury' apartment overlooking the city. The apartment itself is lovely, but the security are shockingly bad.

    I've done some research and there are a lot of house-selling sites, but one that took my fancy is www.myownmove.com…has anyone used them?

    Any help appreciated…
