Makin' It Worse

About two months ago someone or something did battle with the wall in the stairwell around the 2nd floor of my apartment building. About 2 weeks ago someone decided to make that puncture into a fist sized whole. Then some time in the past ten days, someone else contributed (or maybe this has all been the same person). It has continued to get worse, to expand, and more look like someone is standing there. It is not necessarily that it looks like the shape of a person. It is more that it is sizeable enough that, when you aren't paying attention, it looks as if 'something' is there and leads your mind to quickly jump to 'oh! someone is standing there'

Needless to say, I am very curious as to where the money to fix this hole is coming from. Clearly nowhere yet as nothing has been done in 2 months since it started. However, that 600 dollar security deposit I put down one year ago is starting to sound like the answer to that question. I have been wondering, recently, if I will see any of that money. I realize they will most likely paint the apartment over, and find any little thing to take money from it. I am curious if it is an all-or-nothing system or if it is a - take what we need- system. I would like to see some of that money back, and I am sure my roommate and I could not have created 1200 dollars worth of damage in this apartment. However, I would not be surprised if the party in the backyard (which I wrote about previously and has left it destroyed) and this kind of 'cannot pin it on one person' damage will get subtracted from everyone.
