Who is responsible for school taxes. landlord or tenant?
I'm no lawyer but... This definitely sounds like a responsibility of the owner. Unless the tenant agreed in the leasing contract to pay this, then they don't.
Who is responsible for vandalism to a vehicle at an apartment complex?
I'm no lawyer but... The vandals. Assuming they aren't held responsible, unless there is some reason to hold the owner responsible then it is the vehicle's owner who bears the loss, turning to their auto insurance to pay, if they choose. An example of how the owner might be held liable: if the car park had a security gate when the tenant moved in, the gate broke down and the landlord neglected to fix it and this was how the vandals got in, the tenant could try arguing that the owner was responsible due to his negligence.

Is the homeowner or the tenant responsible for damages caused by a tree falling on a rented property?
Homeowner's insurance would be the first recourse. If insurance does not cover the damages the owner of the property would be responsible. The answer above is fundamentally accurate but the tenant is not automatically free of any obligation. If the tenant is renting a home as opposed to an apartment he may have some responsibility for reasonable upkeep and maintenance. If he fails to water the tree for a year and that is the cause of the tree falling, the owner may have recourse against the tenant.
Why does a tenant need property damage insurance?
Your land lord is not responsible for any damage to or loss of personal belongs. This is why you would want to get renters insurance. The owner of the home should have it covered with "Home Owner's Insurance", which doesn't cover a tenant's belongings should there be a fire, etc. Renter's Insurance covers the tenant's belongings. Without it, a tenant would not be eligible for a claim and would not be able to recoup any losses.

Can a homeowners association force a homeowner to evict a tenant?
Perhaps. If the tenant does not abide by the governing documents -- living in the community like an owner -- then the association may require that the owner evict a tenant. The governing documents may state what behaviour is expected from tenants. This action may be the last in a long list of attempts made by the association to bring the tenant's behaviour into compliance with the governing documents. An owner who resists removing a disruptive tenant adversely affects the value of all the property involved in the association's real estate asset base. A board that uses this tactic to remove a tenant based on prejudice or other illegal basis could be in violation of local and federal laws.
Can a condominium association evict a tenant of an owner in Florida?
Generally, tenants are required to live in condominiums in the same way that owners are required to live there. Several steps must be in place, however, according to best practices, in order for an association to evict a tenant. First, there must be evidence that the tenant has been given all the pertinent documents that outline how an owner lives in the property. Then, that the owner sent a copy of the lease with the tenant to the board, and prior to occupancy, cleared the prospective tenant's financial and background reports to the owner's satisfaction. The association must have been involved in addressing any 'rules' violation against the tenant through the owner, that have not been satisfied by the tenant or the owner. Finally, the association's records must show that the board has the power to evict a tenant, given an owner's inability to do so.
If a roofing company hired by the owner provides shoddy work and the ceiling collapses on your possessions who is responsible for the damages to the possessions?
The roofer and ultimately the liability insurance co of the roofer. The roofer will likely be held responsible in the end but the tenant has no relationship to the roofer. The tenant has a relationship with the landlord and it is the landlord's responsibility to see that a roof was in proper condition. The tenant will need to seek redress from the landlord and it is the landlord's job to collect from the roofer.
If owner does not live on the property but a life tenant does who pays taxes?
Property taxes are the responsibility of the owner. The owner may make arrangements to have someone else pay instead, but ultimately if the taxes are not paid it will be the owner who suffers when the property is sold at auction.
