If a water heater breaks in an apartment is the renter responsible for damage caused to the apartment floors or ceiling of the apartment below?

Speculatively speaking, it is likely that the following is true:
If the water heater is provided by the LL then the landlrod is responsible for damages.
If the water heater is owned by the tenant then the tenant is responsible for damages.

Ceiling falls in who is responsible for damage to renters property?
As a general rule, you are responsible for any damage to your property. However, if your landlord knew of problems with the ceiling but did not get them fixed promptly, he may be responsible for the damage to your property. Also, if the ceiling collapse was caused by faulty construction (i.e. the ceiling did not comply with local building codes), you would be able to sue your landlord for failing to keep the property up to building code. Finally, since landlord-tenant laws vary from state to state, your state may have a specific law that holds your landlord responsible for the damage. You should immediately see a tenant's rights agency or landlord-tenant attorney who can review your specific situation.

The answer to this question has little to do with the cracked ceiling but what caused the ceiling to crack in the first place. If it is caused by settling of the home or earth movement then the ceiling crack would not be covered. If a tree limb fell due to a windstorm and damaged the ceiling then it would be covered under a homeowners policy.
