Depending on the age of the condo, that receptacle should be on a GFCI. If
the outlet itself isn't the GFCI, have her find it and push the test buttom.
Don't reset it.

Trying to locate online a cover to secure the outlet. My sister found the
painters at her condo using her outlet to operate their sanders for the
entire complex. They had to jump on her balcony to get at the outlet. I
told her to turn off the breaker to the outlet. That's fine except she
has
to do it each day because the breaker also controls lights in her LR.

I've seen little cages that fit over thermostats that are in public
buildings. I was hoping to find something like that. Most of the results
I get on Google are for simple covers to protect children.

Does anyone know of such a cover that is lockable?
