This is a spinoff of the Home invasion thread.
My fiance and I own a large home where the top floors have been made into 2 apartments. I have one rented and one ready to go this week. Each apartment has a deadbolt, also outside lighting as well as a light on all night in the foyer.
If someone breaks in and charges upstairs to one of the apartments, what responsibilites do I have in regards to the tenants? Obviously a 911 call would be placed, but what about a tenant being threatened or assaulted? One tenant is a single female, 98lbs at most. She has a lab dog, but he is quite submissive. Do I supply a line of defense or just wait for the LEO's to arrive?
