With the wonderful age of computers, anyone with access to a computer can view public records.I do believe criminal records are public information. Depending upon the state you are in a landlord can get full disclosure of your record from the local authorities. In Minnesota there is a "Drug Free Housing Ordinance". Under this ordinance the local authorities will provide information about perspective tenants upon request.
Usually no - unless they had knowledge of a crime being committed and not doing anything about it. Complicity.
Yes.

The general rule is that landlords are not responsible for the contents of its tenants homes. However, if the fire occurred due to egregious acts by the landlord, you may be able to sue him for the value of the property that was burned. If you are concerned about your electricity being faulty, you should call the code enforcement office in your area.

I can't speakl for the law of all "the World's" nations - but in the US a criminal act is defined by two elements. (1) A criminal act accompanied by (2) a criminal intent.
All criminal acts have consequences attached to them.
There is jno such legal term as "culpa." If you are asking about "culpable" it is defined as: Culpable is a term in criminal law that refers to the blameworthiness of the accused. An accused is culpable when he or she is sufficiently responsible for criminal acts or negligence to be at fault and liable for their conduct.
Civil
It depends on your state's particular landlord-tenant act. Some states have different landlord-tenant acts for mobile home parks, for example. The below link shows a list of all 50 states' landlord-tenant acts. The applicability of the act is usually found at or near the beginning of the act.
Criminal liability is the culpability for acts which harm society,and which are prosecuted by the government. Crimes, unlike torts, requite intent. "Black letter law" requires an "actus reus"and a "mens rea." You must mean to do the act, and the act must be completed. Some negligence can lead to criminall iability--acts which the actor knew or should have known were unreasonbly dangerous. Drunk driving homicide is an example.The killing was not intentional, but getting into you car intoxicated was/is.Thus it can lead to criminal liabillity.
Penalties for violations include seizure of illegal goods, injunctions, restraint of shipments that violate the law, and criminal prosecution of those responsible for the violation.
In some circumstances, yes. This mainly applies to acts of terrorism and drug activity. As a landlord, you have a duty to inspect and maintain the condition of the property in which you've retained exclusive and limited control over. The tenant has exclusive control over the internal parts of the property and limited control over the external areas of the property. The landlord also has limited control over the internal & external areas.If you've had a tenant residing in the property for 5 years that have been engaging in bomb making, drug manufacturing &/or trafficking, the police and state can seize your home. The theory behind it is that as a landlord you had a duty to inspect your property from time to time (having given the tenant reasonable notice) and should have known of certain illegal activities taking place on the property.After a period in which the court might find reasonable for a landlord just like yourself to have identified these criminal activities, they will assume you knew and ignored. Thus you failed to maintain your duty as both a landlord and property owner.
The criminal acts punished by the Revised Penal Code.
