I don't know where you live, or the exact circumstances, but I'd get out, and if you don't have the $225, I'd make the apartment office aware of a great many things. You were afraid for your safety, you were afraid you'd be charged with a crime the other person committed, or any way you want to put it.
Example (after you're safely out): "You mean you want me to pay $225 to get out of an apartment where crimes are committed on a daily basis?" This wouldn't look good in the local paper."
If you could have evidence of any sort, like for example, a digital camera left on movie mode, that happened to record comings and goings of people, or anything else, you'd be on very firm ground.
As I think you know, it wouldn't be a good idea to get caught doing that. One or two witnesses, on the other hand, would certainly boost your credibility.
If you're a college student, I've always found that a parent showing up to inquire why it costs money to preserve his kid's safety always gets attention.
Just ideas. Someone may shoot them down, but they're what occurred to me.
