To let myself into upstairs flat?

[MrsDrRanj]

I live in a house converted into flats. I don't know the lady upstairs that well but well enough to have conversations with if we bump into eachother.

The door to her flat is right opposite my door. For the last 2 days I haven't heard her come in or go out, and her keys have been in her door. WIBU to go up and check nobody's dead in there?! Or is that overstepping boundaries?

Hope all's ok and she's just forgotten the keys are there.

Oh gosh, that sounds strange. Yanbu. Hope all is ok and she's just gone off somewhere in a hurry.

Have you heard anyone walking around upstairs the last two days?

Can you see anything from looking outside (eg lights on or off?)

I suppose you should call someone but I have to say, I could easily have done this myself and I would be so mortified if my neighbour or police came into my flat with no notice.

Do you mean the keys are on the outside?

Hope she's ok. I once knocked on a door with keys in, the lady was pretty off with me actually, but hey ho, at least I didn't steal her car!

I'd call the police.

I would do some loud knocking but I wouldn't enter the flat.

Agree with others, call the police on 101. Probably she has gone away and forgotten her keys, but it still would be overstepping boundaries to go into her flat without her permission.

OTOH if somebody is dead in there, would you want to go in and come across the body? I wouldn't.

Mrs I didn't want to say, but now you've mentioned it, my exp's body was found by his landlord in similar circumstances . Leave it for the police.

Ring the police. They will do a welfare check. I wouldn't enter the flat. Don't forget to update us!

Where's the OP gone? Hopefully she's having a nice chat with the (perfectly healthy) lady upstairs.

Please call the police op :(

I'd knock on door / ring doorbell first.

Then call police if no reply from neighbour. Better for them to enter the flat than you, I think.

Hope all turns out okay.

Please call the police. It sounds very worrying, as if she was rushing to get in and left the keys, and has been unable to get back to the door to get them.

I am slightly slack jawed that you have waited 2 days before wondering what to do. If the door has been locked from the outside she may well have gone away and mistakenly left the keys behind her. If the door is open I would probably knock, shout and then if no answer either walk in and check (feeling brave) or call the cops (falling cautious).

Either way I think you should call 101 and ask for advice.

Do the police consider a welfare check an emergency? My only concern about that would be that she might be injured and unable to summon help. If the police don't prioritize the call, it might a be a while before they get out there. If it were me, I would go in if I she didn't respond to the knocking/ringing, but I certainly understand why other people would be nervous about that.

Knock again and if no answer call the police.

I wouldn't enter the flat, leave that for the police.

I would go in myself, making sure I called loudly all around the flat incase she was having a 2 day bonkathon or something which meant she hadn't left the flat! Could be that she'd had bad news and hidden herself away but left keys in door as wasn't thinking straight, in which case she could probably do with some friendship.

My neighbours front door was left ajar. Didn't occur to me that our would be wrong to investigate. I knocked, I went in. nobody there so I got on contact with his brother and he sorted it. Why wouldn't you knock and try to go in?

Op please update!

Is everything ok with your neighbour??

Bloody hell hope your neighbour is ok OP.

Oh goodness, hope all is ok.

I'm worried now.

I hope op is knocking on the door right now, and I really hope everything is ok!
