Ah, true, but you'd have to buy another door first and have a spot to store
the original door.
We get some lovely weather here in SW Tennessee in the Spring, early Summer
and Fall. I wanted to install a security/screen door so I could take
advantage of more fresh air. (My apartment, while I love it, has only 2
windows and my sliding doors in the bedroom.) I was told sure, I could
install a screen door... but it becomes the property of the apartment
complex and I can't take it with me when I leave. Why would I spend $200 to
install a door which is not really mine, upgrading their property in the
meantime? That's just wrong.

Ah, yeah, I forgot about stupid apartment manager tricks like that.

Well, what's to keep you from doing it if it isn't listed in the lease. They
cannot prove that door is theirs and if you keep the receipt you have proof
you bought it. Quite frankly, I think that is a bluff.

Could well be - and only one apartment in the complex I know of (it's only
120 units) has a "storm door" on the outside. I've lived here 8 years and
those folks - retired - have been here longer. Still, that was back when I
was working. I no longer think about spending $200 on a storm door. I just
put fans in front of the windows although it *would* be nice to be able to
open the front door, too.
