I am assuming you are asking who is financially responsible for damages. The first place to consult is your lease. Generally, if something happens that is no fault of yours, the landlord is responsible for the habitability of the unit, but not usually for any damages to your belongings. To protect your belongings, you need to purchase a renter's insurance policy, many of which are very affordable. But, like I said, the final authority is in your lease.
Not for the building fabric - that should be the landlords responsibility, but you would benefit from contents insurance (in case you are robbed etc.).
The landlord because it's his responsibility to fix it before the house and/or property is damaged.
Each state laws vary, but if you mean a furnace or base board heaters, not a space heater, then it's usually the responsibility of the landlord to maintain that the home has heat. You can always call your local city building inspection department, they can force the landlord to repair your heat. Also note that some states, like WI., require the tenant pay for repairs if the cost of a repair is under a certain amount, usually the equivalent of your monthly lease payment or less.
you should write a letter to landlord regarding repairs and give them 30 days to make repairs. Include in letter that if repairs are not started in 30 days that you will deduct the cost of repairs from rent. Send copies of receipts with rent. Note: if you are on a month to month lease, your rent may increase. Also, send letter certified, return receipt.
no it is against the law contact the sherriff, the board of health and a lawyer asap make sure to make notes of all repairs needed and write down/tape all conversations with landlord with exact times/dates and witnesses if any and make copies of any papers from landlord to show to sherriff
Generally speaking, no.

Yes, if you did not make the repairs yourself and document the costs with an agreement with him, the landlord can evict you. Your local government does have offices that will help you with landlord/tenant issues--some repairs Must be made. However, many landlords do not ever make the repairs that are less serious.

Landlords house insurance is a type of insurance that protects the owner of a rental property from damage by tenants. This insurance can compensate the owner for cleanup costs and repairs as well.
Check your local laws. In many states (e.g. California), the tenant can make repairs and deduct the cost from the rent payment. Before doing that, you should tell the landlord in writing what repairs are needed and give a deadline for them to do it themselves, after which you will.
Landlords are not required by law to use licensed contractors for repairs or renovations on their rental properties. However, hiring licensed contractors can ensure that the work is done properly and up to code, which can help prevent future issues and liability.
The Tenant Right to Repair Act allows tenants to request repairs in writing and gives landlords a reasonable amount of time to make the repairs. If the landlord fails to do so, the tenant can hire a licensed professional to make the repairs and deduct the cost from their rent. This law helps ensure that rental properties are properly maintained and that tenants' living conditions are safe and habitable.
That issue should be addressed in the contract.
Depends on where. In most U.S. states, this is the landlords responsibility.
