^Your second point is exactly why you shouldn't have to be responsible. That's how my apartment works, anyway. If something bad happens to the apartment that we live in, the apartment maintenance that works here takes care of it and we don't pay a cent. We had our toilet malfunction a few times, and the maintenance came out and installed a completely new tub for the toilet (the thing on the back) and it was completely free of charge. I don't really see why they're putting the blame on you when before you moved in, they should've done a thorough inspection of the apartment to be sure that this type of thing wouldn't happen. Honestly, don't feel like you are responsible, let it fall into the hands of the apartment manager, otherwise take it to someone with more power to settle it.
