Someone was inside the room or someone locked it then went out through a window. Chances are this photo was not taken by the OP or his story is made up.
Edit: Apparently it is like this. It must be a bitch to lock when you leave.

I don't know what exactly is going in this situation, but this exists
You can get a chain lock that has a key lock in it, that you can lock and unlock from either side of the door. It's not a replacement for a deadbolt or anything, but it will give shifty landlords a moment's pause, at least. A product I would not have known about if not for the slumlords at CLV!
Do go to the landlord-tenant board -- they are pleasant to deal with and generally effective. You can also try bylaw services -- "By-law provisions concerning zoning, business licences, and the maintenance and upkeep of existing buildings, including rental properties, are the responsibility of the City’s By-law Services Branch Community and Protection Services Department." It sounds like the place is run-down enough that it'd arouse their interests.
You can get door chains that can be locked/unlocked from outside the door,

A common variation on the standard chain security device.

Normally it would be mounted so that the key isn't needed to unlatch it from inside. The one you picture just has the key lock part mounted outside the door trim and that affects the reach of the chain. It's questionable if you could even open the door enough to reach in with the key in that position.
These might work as well if he can access the track where the doors slide on.
But, kids can be pretty strong. I had to screw these chains on some of my cabinets because those plastic ones get broken a couple seconds after I install them.
I too had this issue. My son is now 12, and his bolting has stopped. Hope your daughter's does too. The cheapest and easiest is a keyed chain

Place them high. The advantage is with the key someone who is outside can open the door if they have the key.
Lime this?
What if additional locks are not allowed?
May I suggest...
