Now, for preventive measures, go to a locksmith and cut 2 extra keys and leave them at home as spares.
Next time you lose your keys, you don't have to deal with the landlord.
She told me some story about the keys, but I wasn't listening. Supposedly they come 1/2 cut from the lock manufacturer and only the lock shop that finishes them can recreate the key. I just assumed she was telling the truth and that I can't copy the key.
And as far as being friends with anyone in my building, I just moved in a few days ago and all of my neighbors are 40-50-something doctors and lawyers. I'm sure I will meet some of them eventually, but it hasn't happened yet.
Thanks for all of the great info everyone has posted so far
