|

The Apartment Landlord is only responsible to repair that burst pipe and all damages done to the immediate dwelling such as the walls, roof, rugs, floors, plumbing but they are NOT RESPONSIBLE for the damages to YOUR Personal Property, that is what Renter's Insurance is for. Sorry! |
|
wish I were
|
YES all of it! Unless you did something to make the pipe burst! |
|
♥♥The Queen Has Spoken♥♥
|
He responsible to have burst pipe repaired and any damage to the structure. You should have renters insurance that would pay any damage to your personal property |
|

Yes, unless you somehow caused the problem but I cant see how that is even possible.
The Landlord is renting you a place and your rent pays for an apartment or home that is functional. It is in his best interest to keep the place working so you will keep renting from him or her.
Now if you damage the carpet, put a hole in the wall or something like that then you would be responsible. |

They certainly are in NY, but laws vary by city and state. I would think something like this would be fairly universal, though. |

they should be liable for house and fixture repair..u would b liable if u were somehow at fault.
id read over ur lease as it will tell u in there but im pretty certain he will be liable |

The owner of the building is responsible for the burst pipe and repairs to the wall. They are not responsible for the damages to your personal items inside of the apartment.
Renters Insurance covers personal items and not the owner of the building. |

Of course--unless the tenant went crazy and broke the wall and the pipe. That's why many people rent, so they don't have the responsibility of making major repairs--unless they cause the damage. |

Yes, Most leases stipulate that landlords are said to be responsible for fixed assets adjoined to the property and to all "systems" that feature in the property . However, there is no common point of law that assigns responsibility for repairs and damages to the landlord. The responsibilty must be determined by the lease. If there is a dispute over the meaning of the lease -- then arbitration or relief in the courts may be required. Incidentally: renter's insurance - nominally inexpensive is a great way to deflect risk of damages and liabilities. |

If you caused the pipe to burst (ie, turning heat off)..then yes you would be responsible. If not, most likely it's the landlords responsibility...check the wording of your lease. |

Yes. |

In all states he would be liable, for both the damage to the property and any damage to your belongings. Check to see if you have a local legal aid office they should tell you 100% your rights. |

Yes. His insurance should also cover your damage IF you don't have renters insurance. |

Most likely. Definitely for the pipe and any damage to the building/wall but as far as damaged personal property, it gets a little hazier. But he/she has to fix that pipe and repair the structural damage. If he/she refuses, send your LL a letter notifying them that they are responsible for making necessary repairs and if he/she fails to do you, you will be subtracting a reasonable amount of money (equal to the percantage this damage has rendered your dwelling uninhabitable) from your monthly rent. Keep a coy of this letter and document the damage in case you have to go to court. If this persists, check your state for "anti-slumlord" laws and pursue a remedy through those. Good Luck. |

yes and the damage to your personal belongings also |
