Two things: where is the fire exit in your apartment and why isn't it accessible? It most places in the US lack of access is illegal and worth talking to your landlord about. Also, look into door lock safety - metal security faceplate at the handle and a deadbolt to start. Some kind of anti-theft option if you have those (there are several) . If you tell your landlord someone got into your apt they might even pay for the extra security for you.
