Any damages caused to a building which is under lease and which are directly caused by the tenant are normally deducted from the bond if necessary. Otherwise, the tenant is responsible for paying for the repairs, but it is the landlord/homeowner who must get the repairs done (they then pass the bill on).

Ceiling falls in who is responsible for damage to renters property?
As a general rule, you are responsible for any damage to your property. However, if your landlord knew of problems with the ceiling but did not get them fixed promptly, he may be responsible for the damage to your property. Also, if the ceiling collapse was caused by faulty construction (i.e. the ceiling did not comply with local building codes), you would be able to sue your landlord for failing to keep the property up to building code. Finally, since landlord-tenant laws vary from state to state, your state may have a specific law that holds your landlord responsible for the damage. You should immediately see a tenant's rights agency or landlord-tenant attorney who can review your specific situation.

In every state, landlords have a common law duty to provide adequate plumbing. In your case, the plumbing was blocked before you moved in. Accordingly, your landlord cannot hold you responsible for fixing or unblocking the pipes. If your landlord demands that you pay for the blocked pipes or you continue to have plumbing problems, you will need to see a landlord-tenant law attorney or tenant's rights group in your area.

Who is responsible for damage when a concealed inside water pipe bursts?
Why did the pipe burst? If the tenant caused it, he is responsible for the damage and the repair of the pipe. If it just happened or the landlord could have prevented it, the landlord is responsible for the pipe and structural damage. I do not believe he is responsible for personal items lost or damaged. You would have to prove that he did something to cause the pipe to burst and knew it was likely to happen.
