I rent a room in a house where 2 other people also rent rooms. Our landlord & his wife also live in the house. In my room, I have a sliding closet door that is only fixed to a track on the top of the doors, not the bottom. So naturally, when I open/close my closet, the doors swing. Twice now, the doors have popped off the tracks & have gotten stuck where I am completely unable to get into my closet. I asked my landlord twice to fix it & the 2nd time, he made a big fuss about it, saying "there you go, i've fixed it for the 4th time now" (it was only the 2nd) & he said it does that because I swing the doors (i guess implying it was my own fault they broke). He made me feel bad for asking him to fix it. My question is was I right in asking him to fix it if I was unable to or should it have been my responsibility to find someone to fix it for me? For example, one of the other male renters? (I'm female and not quite strong enough to pick up the doors once they've snapped off)
