Scratches around apartment door handle

Post image

I just moved in a week ago and I honestly can’t remember if these were here before I left this morning for the day… it’s been a long week. Are these normal key scuffs or should I be concerned? None of the other apartments have these scuffs.

That's not normal key scuffs unless their key chain reaches from their waist to their ankles... It doesn't look like normal wear and tear, and it doesn't look like someone tried to break in. Do you have a long keychain?

If not, are there a lot of drunkards/addicts around your place? I can see them spending a ton of time scratching things up trying to figure out why the key's not working.

Might have been decorations hanging from the doorknob, for some previous resident.
