Is a landlord responsible for my damaged personal property due to bad ground wiring after being advised of two blown TV's then losing two more before action taken?

There are many jurisdictions that have varying degrees of liability so any answer will be general and must not be taken to be an accurate answer. Usually, a landlord has a duty of care to provide safe and reliable electrical wiring in a house. If he fails in this duty, there may well be a liability to make good damage to a renter's equipment. It is usually up to the renter to prove that a faulty installation was the cause of damage and also, that the landlord could be expected to know the installation is faulty. However, the landlord will not be responsible for property that has been damaged after the renter is aware that a problem exists. To persist in connecting televisions that are damaged due to mains wiring is careless and the landlord will not be responsible for the renter's carelessness. A blown tv due to the electrical supply would not ordinarily be due to the ground. A loose connection in the hot or neutral contacts in the outlet would be more likely. But at any rate, I agree with the answer above, that after you know of a problem, any damage is on you since you shouldn't be using that outlet.
