Generally speaking, anyone can sue anyone at any time for any reason. The question is are you entitled to compensation if your contents are damaged in your apartment. The answer to that question is how the damage occurred, and why.
For instance, if your landlord was negligent in causing the damage, you may be entitled under the landlord's insurance policy. However, if the loss occurred for a reason that was beyond their control, you are probably not going to be compensated.
The best recommendation is to have a policy of your own. The cost is reasonable and the coverage extends to your contents, additional living expenses and liability.

Protect Yourself With Renters Insurance?
Renters insurance offers protection for the contents of a home or apartment in the event of fire, natural disaster or theft. Although many tenants feel that they cannot afford this type of insurance, they often don't realize the danger they face in the event their residence burns down. In such a case, homeowners insurance and other insurance that covers the property will mitigate the homeowners loss, but leave the tenant without any help. This type of insurance can be purchased online or from a local insurance agent. Usually, applying for this type of coverage involves tallying items that are stored inside the home, locating the nearest fire station and ordering a policy with the appropriate coverage amount. Most the time, renters insurance is relatively low priced so many tenants think they cannot afford it, but they really can.
