Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Buglary at Rental House

I am renting a house with a year lease. The house was broken into and I have a police report. The outside door was smashed and damaged. I immediately replace the broken glass, however, the landlord says I must now replace the entire door. Cost of S1500.00

Am I responsible for this damage?
