It all depends on the layout and the travel distances, it could be a fire hazard, on the other hand it could be considered acceptable, without a lot more information I could not give a definitive response. Despite this, I think the landlord should repair the door so it is accessible for normal use, even if it is not required for fire safety reasons.
