If you are renting an apartment and the water heater suddenly starts leaking will the landlord's home insurance cover damage to books and comic books?

Typically, the landlord's home insurance would cover damage to the structure of the apartment but not your personal belongings like books and comics. You would need to have renter's insurance to cover damage to your personal property in such a situation. It's important to have your own coverage to protect your belongings in cases like this.

If you have stopped breast feeding for more than a year but are still leaking could that be a sign of pregnancy?
If you stopped leaking and then suddenly started leaking again, that is a possible sign of pregnancy. But if you have never stopped leaking, then it's probably that you just haven't "dried up" yet. It takes some women longer than others.
Are landlords or tenants responsible for damage done from cracked plumbing pipes?
The landlord is more responsible for the pipes than your neighbor. If it's simply a matter of the pipes underneath his bathroom leaking onto your apartment (which does suck, and I'm sorry) then that's one thing. If, however, you neighbor knew about the issue and did not report it, allowing for the resulting damage, then he is also to blame. Nonetheless, the bulk of the burden falls squarely on the landlord.
Is this rightMy Landord is telling us that after extensive water damage was done froma leak in the bathroom sink that his insurance company will not come out to investigate and will not cover damages?
Landlords Extended Coverage?Yes, he is telling you the truth. If there is no extended coverage for leaking pipes or faucets then they will not come out, there would be no reason to do so.Someone needs to hire a plumber. Most leaky sinks are easy fixes.There is no reason for an insurance company to investigate a loss that it already knows is not a covered peril.Many home insurance policies ( Especially Tenant occupied ) Dwelling policies do not cover damage or losses from old or leaky plumbing resulting from normal wear and tear. That's a maintenance issue not an Insurance issue.Also the owners policy would generally not pay for property loss of another. That's what Renters Insurance is for.Many landlords are now beginning to "require" that tenants purchase renters insurance in the lease terms in order to avoid just these types of tenant issues.

What can be the cause for your downstairs neighbor's bathroom ceiling leak and could it be your fault from your tub but there is no actual leak in your apartment anywhere and it's an old building?
For the ceiling to be damaged there is a leak! As to who's fault it is that is the question. It is determined by who is responsible in your apartment for the upkeep of what is leaking. Some of the causes could be a leaking tile wall or tub surround, water leaking where the valve or spout protrudes through the wall, a drain leaking, the shower valve or piping leaking, water spilling over the edge of the tub on the floor or even a roof or window leaking. I would recommend hiring a plumber to investigate and repair any leak that is occurring as most of the time it would be your responsibility for repair. A leak is not going to get any better on its own and water damage costs can be significant.
