If you have asked them, you should have got it in writing. Otherwise, no one can prove you told them the door was not locking properly, and you will be held responsible. That's why I have renters insurance. It covers stuff like that. You only have a case against them if you have asked them to repair the door. If you have asked them, you should have got it in writing.

Read your lease regarding any particular responsibility. Normally the landlord will have to cover the cost of damages due to breaking and entering. I would look at the cost and offer to go half if it is reasonable just to have my landlord as a reference for other apartments down the road. A sliding glass door isn't that costly. But if he is asking something ridiculous or if its beyond your means or if he just ticked you off you can probably tell him to keep the deposit and suck it up. A quality apartment assumes responsibility for security and a shoddy apartment may not be willing to go to court over it. Always read your lease first to make sure of your rights.

Do you have renters insurance? If so, they will take care of the situation. If not, your landlord is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure domicile. If by negligence or faulty workmanship, your home was left unsure or overly vulnerable, again there you go. If however, this was a result of you not being present or not securing the location completely then you are responsible. Did you call the police? What did they say/What is their opinion of what happened? Remember that you, as the renter, always have the power in this relationship. Do you have renters insurance?
