This is a 50-50 type thing. If the landlord knew of a leak and did nothing to stop it, yes. If it just started leaking and you did what you could to prevent the mattress from damage, you may be able to win the argument. It may be best to consult with a lawyer.

Who is responsible for tenants damaged things when my storage unit was damaged when roof collapsed?
Tenants should always get renters insurance because when things like this happen, the landlord is not responsible. nor is the owner of the storage unit, unless there was negligence on their part. If the tenant doesn't have that insurance, they have to replace lost items at their own cost. They could always take the owner of the storage unit to court, but a judge will probably ask, "Why didn't you have renters insurance? That's what it is for."

This is a question for someone in hotels/motels, not landlord/tenant. The "landlord" of a motel or hotel is known as an innkeeper. The rules regarding hotels/motels are obviously different due to the transient nature of these types of establishments. Therefore they are not subject to landlord/tenant rules. But generally speaking, a hotel or motel is a risky environment, and often times innkeeper is not responsible for personal belongings of their guests.

If a tenant's dishwasher breaks down after six months - is it the landlords responsibility to replace it?
It depends on what your lease says, but generally, the landlord is responsible for keeping all appliances that were supplied with the property in good working order. If you contact your landlord and the landlord refuses to fix the dishwasher, I recommend you contact your city hall to determine the department that issues renal licenses for your area. They might be able to point you in the right direction for your area.
