If I am renting an apartment and it floods multiple times due to a faulty drain outside of the apartment what are my responsibilities and what are my landlord's?
Your lease should answer all of these questions. The landlord should take care of what is theirs (carpets, drywall, etc.) They will not cover the contents of your apartment. This is why you should always get renters insurance!
If a tree on your landlord's property falls on your car at the apartment you are renting is the landlord's insurance liable?
No. This is an act of god. You should notify your car insurance.
What references should you require from a landlord to ensure that he is a good landlord when renting an apartment?
You can usually tell by the upkeep of the apartment building. As far as your landlord's character try talking to some of the other tenants.
Why should a landlord get contents insurance?
It is very important for a landlord to get contents insurance if they are renting out a property with furniture included. If then the contents are damaged by the tennants then the landlord will be able to use the insurance policy to replace them.
What are the legal rights for housing rent?

If you are renting a house should you expect to be reimbursed for the paint if you paint a room and the landlord gives you permission to paint it?
Unless you had an agreement with the landlord to that effect, no. If you repainted it because you just wanted a different color, then it's not likely.
Does the landlord have to knock before entering the property if 24 hours notice is given to the tenant?
It depends on your contract, but it is a very common courtesy that if you are renting form him he should provide. though if you are not home expect that the landlord will enter.
Can California landlords be held responsible for renting to known felons and gang members?
I know of no law that forbids renting to a felon, or a gang member.Another PerspectiveA landlord has the responsibility to provide tenants with a safe and healthy environment. Renting units to known gang members who then cause damages, harm or loss to the other tenants may create some liability for the landlord. If that is the case you should consult with an attorney or with a landlord-tenant agency in your town who can review your situation and explain your options, if any.
What questions should landlords ask before renting?

I need recomedations to get my roof repaired.?
If you have homeowners insurance I would call them and they can recommend the best person for you. If you are renting then it will be your landlord's job to fix it and you should call them.
Do the fair housing laws forbid the use of 'God' by a landlord?
Not sure what you mean. If you mean can a landlord discriminate in renting on the basis of religion, NO. If you mean can a landlord use the word "God" in speaking to you as a tenant - that's a matter of civility and if it offends you, you should politely ask whether the landlord could not use God's name when speaking with you. There is no guaranty how the landlord will react.
Can a landlord stay the night without permission in a shared accommodation?
I don't know what you are thinking in terms of "shared accommodation" but it looks like you're not sharing with the landlord. Whatever property the landlord leases out is no longer his to use so he should not stay. If, however, you are renting a room in the landlord's house and have shared access to the kitchen, for example, then the landlord can still use the kitchen, of course.
