Unless your rental agreement specifies liability belongs to the landlord, it would be very unusual for the landlord to have any liability.
The landlord, because he/she owns the property.
You will be held legally responsible for the lost rent on the apartment PROVIDED that the landlord makes a reasonable effort to re-rent the apartment. A reasonable effort would be considered running an ad in the newspaper, placing a Craigslist ad, posting the apartment on apartments.com, etc. However, the landlord is not obligated to lower the rent or rent the apartment to tenants who do not meet the landlord's reasonable screening standards.
No. This is an act of god. You should notify your car insurance.

The landlord is generally only responsible for the building, not the belongings inside. That's what renter's insurance is for.
This actually sounds like some type of home-improvement project, not vandalism. This all depends on what intent the drywalling is. The term vandalism is the destruction or damage to property. If you are in a rental property and you are doing this without the landlord's consent, then it could be taken as vandalism, but most likely is just unauthorized home-improvement, which is a civil offense.
If you fall on the property where you live, the question of whether or not you have a case against your landlord depends on a number of factors. If you think it is due to negligence on the part of your landlord, see a lawyer.
Yes, an internal phone jack that existed prior to you moving in (meaning you did not have it installed) is a permanent fixture of the property. It's therefore the landlords responsibility to maintain and keep up to code any permanent fixtures of their property.
well of course, remember that your rent covers everything from your ceiling to the walls of your area. any damage or event that did not start inside your property and caused damage is not your fault. the landlord and the tenant above should make an agreement on how they will fix the damage and pay for the cost.

No. Absolutely not. The landlord's insurance covers damage to his property only. Your property would be covered by renter's insurance. It is fairly inexpensive and well worth it for the coverage and peace of mind.
A new landlord has to have received the security deposit from the old landlord during the process of the closure of the sale of the property. The new landlord is responsible for that security deposit.
