Actually, the suggestion of a cutting board insert is a good one. I guess you have to weigh the cost of getting the cutting board insert against the amount you have as a deposit on the apartment. Of course, getting the cutting board idea installed may still get you in a pinch with your apartment manager as most rental agreements have clauses forbid tenants from making alterations to the apartment without the written consent, etc...
How is your relationship with your apartment manager? You might consider telling them what happened now and what idea you had about fixing it. Might work.
