The door is out of plumb. If you have a level check the long side of the door and note the direction of the bubble. Adjust the the hinge that needs to be adjusted by removing the screws from the jamb side and adding cardboard behind the hinge, causing the door to move out and becomes plumb.

First, make sure that the hinges are not self-closing! If that's not it, then the door is not plumb, level, or square. Do you own a level? If so, it is easy to fix. Ask a friend that is handy, or land lord if you have one. You know, you could always get a door-stopper! They make some really cute ones!

It's out of level. The door frame is tilted one way or the other and is not vertically square. Short of ripping off the trim molding and re-shimming the door frame, use a brick or a door stop to hold it open.
Bad craftsmanship is such a nuisance. AEN

the door is not plumb. if you are a handy type it would be best to pull the trim off and reshim the door.If you put cardboard behind the hinges you are likely to hingebind the door and it will not close properly.good luck

YES THATS IT THE DOOR ITSELF IS NOT HUNG RIGHT. NEED TO CHECK AN SEE IF THE HEAD OF THE JAMB IS LEVEL AND THEN SEE IF ITS PLUMB.THE EASIEST WAY IS TO BUY A CATCH FOR THE DOOR TO KEEP IT OPEN THEY MAKE WONDERFUL MAGNETIC ONES THAT WILL HOLD IT OPEN AND RELEASE IT WITH A SLIGHT PULL
