How can I make my landlord stop vandalism in the parking lot of our apartment complex?

Full question:

My landlord does not want us to stand out front of our units. Cars are being vandilized in the parking lot at night. He is not taking any action to protect us, such as lights, cameras, fenced in areas. What can I do to protect myself and others without moving?

Answer:

I suggest talking to the local police or council person and registering a complaint, as well as asking for more police patrols. A letter to the landlord citing your concerns for the record is advisable.
