Summerville, SC asked in Landlord - Tenant for South Carolina

Q: Am I legally allowed a door if I pay month to month in someone’s home?

I live in this family’s home and the woman is basically out of her mind over how people have treated her in the past. And she’s taken my door off, while other people live in the house. People steal from her and I’m sure they’d do the same to me. Now granted I have insurance on my belongings, I don’t want to have to go through the process of having to deal with it if someone does steal from me. So my question is if I am by law allowed a door? And if she takes it off is there anything I’m allowed to do(like put it back on the hinges)
