Woman baffled after 'cheeky neighbours' paint door then expect her to pay for it

A woman was left baffled after her 'cheeky neighbours' painted a communal door and then asked her to help pay for it.

The communal door is to a building which houses eight flats, with her new neighbours recently purchasing one of the flats as an investment to let out. Since the purchase of the flat, they've painted the front door black, as well as the porch door, and sent an email around to the other flat owners asking them to chip in £25 each to cover the costs of the paint and labour.

The woman was not consulted about the job before it went ahead and was baffled to receive the request for money. Taking to Mumsnet's popular Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) thread with a post titled "Cheeky neighbours want me to pay", she sought advice on how to proceed without causing awkwardness with the new neighbours.
