What causes endless water leak?  What does renters insurance cover?  If the landlord's house is damage will the renters insure cover the damages?  Just got home for first time in 3 weeks to find hot water tank broke your carpets and wall are soaked and there is now mold growing on wall and carpet is your landlord liable?
