I’d like to get some opinions about the following situation–This past weekend I moved into an building with 5 floors, two units on each floor. In order to get my couch in, my movers took the inner front door off of its hinges, and put it back on when they were through. I noticed when I used the door that it didn’t close as easily as before, but I figured that they put the pins back in the hinges too tightly and it would loosen up. While unpacking boxes I heard someone come in and say loudly “F—ing door is f–ed up!” I went back down and looked at the door again, but it still closed and locked, it just didn’t close as smoothly as I remembered. I decided to call my landlady and left her a message. The next day while I was at work, one of my neighbors took the door off of it’s hinges entirely and leaned it against the wall covering all of our mailboxes. My landlady told me that I hired the movers and it is my responsibility to have them come back and reattach the door. I called the moving company and the owner told me I was crazy and that it’s not his problem. My landlady refuses to have her building maintenance worker fix it. What should I do? Do I have to hire someone to fix it myself?
