Dude, you're fine. Your apartment manager probably lied to you in an effort to not have you drill holes in the wall...
My first house (1950s era) had these shitty hard plastic tiles just inside the front door as a landing pad to take your shoes off before you stepped onto the carpet. Under the carpet were hardwoods. So the first house project i did was to rip the carpet to and refinish the hardwood floors myself. Well those stupid tiles wouldn't come up they just kept chipping and breaking. So what's a 24 year old dude with a drum sander and 20 grit paper gunna do? He's going to sand right though those SOBs, right?! So I did. Later found out those were likely asbestos backed tiles which are totally safe to remove if you chip them out. What you dont want to do is saw them out because that releases the asbestos fibers into the air. Hmmm, what about sanding them down to nothing?!
