There is no legal rule or law on this issue. The law looks at the terms of the tenants' leases to find the tenants' obligations. Do the leases require doors to be closed or not? The answer to that is the answer to your question. The other alternative is if there is a lease term that provides for separate "rules" for the complex. If the lease provides that the tenants will follow the "rules," then the question is what do the rules say about it.
