It depends on why it fell off.

If it was due to old age, a leaking roof or faulty workmanship, the landlord fixes it.

If it fell down because of something that you, your family or your guests did, the landlord still fixes it, but you pay for it. The common reasons are

  • deliberate damage (aka vandalism).
  • fixing something heavy to the ceiling, which pulls it down.
  • allowing water to leak onto a floor upstairs. This could be leaving the bath running. It could also be getting a blocked toilet, then repeatedly flushing it, rather than plunging it until the blockage clears.
