Check your state's landlord tenant laws. In some states the tenant is liable if they were aware of a problem and did not report it to the landlord, did nothing to prevent the problem or if they are responsible for causing the problem.
Yes and no. If repairs are frivolous or done without proper notice of at least seven days before the next rent is due, then no. Otherwise yes. Keep in mind, however, by the landlord can still file eviction proceedings against you. However, if the court finds that the repairs were essential for continued habitation of the dwelling, the landlord will lose the case, wherein you can make a counterclaim against the landlord for up to three times rent abatement.
If you are at fault, you!
not in any state. To get repairs, the tenant needs to give the LL 30 days to make any repairs. If not done, the tenant is to call licensed contractors who do the kinds of work done that the tenant needs done. THE tenant pays the contractor and gets a receipt. The tenant gives a copy of the receipt and any remaining rent [gross rent minus that amount paid for repairs] due to the landlord.
If the tenant damages the property he is liable for such damages. The Landlord may or may not have his own insurance for this purpose but the tenant is liable. If the Tenant has his own insurance (Renter's Insurance) then the Tenant may file a claim and damages will be covered by that insurance.
You can countersue for eviction and keep the security deposit if the tenant has not followed proper procedures for notifying you, the landlord, of repairs that are needed. Generally locks may not be changed by the landlord or tenant without the other's permission and the reconciliation of the keys to the new lock. But this must be so stated on the lease in order for it to be enforced.

Yes, under certain circumstances.
Any damages caused to a building which is under lease and which are directly caused by the tenant are normally deducted from the bond if necessary. 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).
Yes. Usually.
In India, a tenant can stay in a rental house for more than 10 years, but he cannot claim ownership of the property solely based on tenure. The ownership of the property remains with the landlord unless a specific agreement or legal provision states otherwise. It is important to have a clear rental agreement to avoid any disputes over ownership rights in the future.
