Unfortunately, if you are renting No he is not responsible. You need to always have whats called "Renters Insurance". However, if the roof was previously bad and you made a written complaint, or it is on file, then Yes he is responsible. He new of the damage and didn't fix it. Renters Insurance is just like Mortgage insurance for a house. However Renters Insurance is a lot cheaper.

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.
