That's problematic because it's installing a fixture, which may be an issue at the conclusion of the lease. Chains are kind of pointless anyway as they are easily broken.
A solid non-permanent option is a security stick.
Don't install a chain door lock. There are other, non-installation-style, door stops that can be used indoors, like this for instance.
Those rubber door stops are okay but really are for holding doors open. An actual door-jammer though...that'll stop the door from being opened and it won't cause any damage on your part. They'd literally have to kick the door in or take it off the hinges.
If your lease doesn't allow you to make the change to the locks yourself, consider adding a secondary means to secure your door such as one of these
Need to get a steel door frame and/or a burglar bar for when you are at home.

Also, make sure it is at a slight angle and not sticking way out from the door. The way these work is by making all the force of someone kicking/ramming in the door, go up into the top of the door frame. Some people put these on with waaay too much of a slant.
Also, two things to look for in a good lock are at least 6 pins, and they should be anti-pick pins.
also don't use security devices that cannot be deactivated easily and quickly from the inside when trying to escape a building. They shouldn't be difficult to use in a fire nor unable to deactivate from the outside if a kid were to activate it from the inside while you are outside,, and never use a chain/swinging/sliding lock for securely opening a door part way which can be broken and bypassed easily. Never use a locking device on an exterior doorway that requires a key to unlock it from the inside.
Also use this attached to the door knob or handle with a rubber band if you live in a very sketchy neighborhood. This way you have to hold the stop bar up to open the door, and if someone tries to force their way in after you unlock the door to peek out or answer, and the criminal tries to force the door open, if you drop the stop bar it will be a door stopper, and not fall off if the door is closed and attempted to be opened again.
No no, I mean a literal bar as the lock:

I don’t have any advice for dealing with MIL, but if you are worried about them trying to break in while you are home, there are some fairly inexpensive products you can buy.
You can get door bars and window locks. They make special door bars for sliders too if you have that kind of door in your home. Hope this helps and good luck to you.
