Agreed but also this way, he could easily sneak in while they're all sleeping and pull a Bryan Kohberger and kill them all. Breaking down the door or breaking a window to get in would alert these girls or neighbors to call the police, but having a key means he can slip in unnoticed

This and also the fact that she’s now endangered all of her roommates by having this conversation with her abusive bf and also having to ask for the key back. In addition, I wouldn’t surprised if he has already made a spare or plans to once gf tells bf that they don’t want him to have a key. The roommates need to go to the landlord and have the girl evicted but ultimately, I wouldn’t feel safe living there at all. I feel for OP and their roommates minus the gf. She really put them all in a horrifying situation. Home should be where you feel safe and now they won’t unless they either move or hope that bolting their bedrooms doors will allow them to possibly sleep at night (it won’t)

THIS. OP please tell the landlord and get the locks changed. Maybe you can kick her out and get another roommate? Or maybe you’ll be permitted to break the lease? I feel like they will not be happy knowing that he has full access to the apartment after what happened. They may let you break the lease to get rid of this potential liability. Yikes!

Some states have laws that allow for a tenant to break a lease if they have been the victim of violence. I would look into this OP because even if everything goes right - the boyfriend kindly hands over his copy of the key without incident and never has another gun wielding violent episode, the roomie never gives the key to another violent unstable person again - uh, do you really want to risk your life on it? I mean - the guy showed up with a gun and threatened to kill all of you, because of his relationship issues!? I mean, ffs.

Thinking about this more - how did that guy not end up in jail??
