That would depend on who's angry wife your talking about.
If the tenants wife damages your property or your landlords property then the tenants wife is liable for those damages. Due to the extension of common law you can also be held financially liable for actions of your spouse. The landlord would have no control over the tenants wife nor her actions and could not be held liable.
If the Landlords wife came over and damaged your property or the landlords property then the Landlord and or the landlord wife would be financially liable.

Otherwise, the tenant is responsible for paying for the repairs, but it is the landlord/homeowner who must get the repairs done (they then pass the bill on).

More than likely God is responsible for the storm that caused the tree limb to fall and damage the shed. Doesn't the landlord own the shed? If the shed belongs to you then you are responsible for repairing the shed. If it belongs to the landlord then he can decide whether or not he wants to repair it.
Does car insurance cover damage caused by trailer detaching from vehicle?
Liability coverage extends from the vehicle that is pulling a trailer, boat, or camper. This means if you are backing up in a parking area and the camper hits another vehicle the liability coverage will cover the damage to the other vehicle. Even if you are going down the road and the trailer comes loose the liability is still attached to the trailer and damage it does to another persons property is covered by liability from the vehicle that it was attached to. The kicker is that damage to the trailer itself is not covered by the vehicle pulling it. You would have to have a policy on the trailer itself for physical damage coverage to cover damage to the trailer.

Who is responsible for damage when a concealed inside water pipe bursts?
Why did the pipe burst? If the tenant caused it, he is responsible for the damage and the repair of the pipe. If it just happened or the landlord could have prevented it, the landlord is responsible for the pipe and structural damage. I do not believe he is responsible for personal items lost or damaged. You would have to prove that he did something to cause the pipe to burst and knew it was likely to happen.

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.
