what is considered as negligence of a landlord when it comes to pluming?
TK asked:
Is there a law that they have to check water pipe once in a while runs between the ceilings and floors? Or until it breaks and causes damaged they don't have to take care of it? I understand tenant should have renter's insurance, but is there any requirement that the landlord should have insurance to cover the damage of tenant's personal items in case of water leak?

No law plumbing must be inspected. You can file a claim with the landlord's Insurance company for damages. If that fails there is always small claims court Burst pipes are considered an accident unless tenant shut off the heat thus causing the burst

There's no law that they have to check the pipes. Every tenant should have Tenant's insurance to protect their belongings. You can package it with your auto insurance and save money. Your landlord's homeowners does not cover contents. The landlord is not responsible for your damages just the cost to repair the water leak and the structure of the building damaged by the leak.

No. But you can call the Health Department or Building and Safety Department in your city and have the building inspected for health problems. If water is leaking it creates MOLD. Mold is a health hazard and it is a hot word to use. So, tell them you see mold and water is leaking. The city will come out and inspect the property.
