Not for you to DIY

Aside from the extreme danger to you and others, you're likely to be voiding your rental or lease agreement. And if the outlet isn't up to code for your dwelling, anything that goes wrong would end up with you financially liable too.

The danger to you and others comes from the need to be able to absolutely cut off power to that outlet, which you may not be able to do from inside your apartment. It may take a building level power cutoff for the circuits leading to your apartment, which you won't be able to do by yourself, nor on the sly!

The other danger to you and others is of inadvertenly creating an ongoing fire or electrocution hazard that will spark up when you aren't aware of it.

Messing with your electrical circuits is not for the inexperienced. Do NOT try this at home. Ask for qualified help.
