how concerned should be about these three things

[Chris Lau]

I am looking to rent a place, it seems nice except three things

they are ranch style apartments. they have a gate in front of the main entrance, and you're responsible for the door if anything happens to it. for some reason they won't fix it. it actually looks like this but a wooden door in front of the main door

if i take the door down, how concerned should I be about people stealing stuff. if i had a lawn mower or something, they would have to come in the opening and take stuff

i saw a report online about some guy that was looking in someones windows at the complex across the street. i dont know how long ago it was. i was looking online again but coudlnt find it. the one im staying at seems fine, how concerned should I be able the ones across from me?

i have three days to decide, so any help is appreciated. i know its a little late. i went to see them a few days ago, and it seemed fine, then all these things started popping up.
