For the second time in three years someone attempted to break into our apartment. The first time they bent the lock but didn’t manage to get the door open. Our regis told us if we wanted to replace it, we would have to foot the bill because they considered it ‘small’ maintenance and according to our contract, small repairs are our responsibility.
This time, instead of going for the lock, they used a crowbar on the wood door frame. Again it didn’t work but now our door looks like it was gnawed over by a rabid beaver.
Do we need to inform the Regis? The door isn’t pretty to look at but is still functional. We installed an additional lock so it’s unlikely anyone is going to get through but when we eventually move we don’t want to be held responsible for damage on the outside of our apartment door.
Thanks for any advice!
