It may be wise to add a clause to the lease that specifically obligates the landlord to maintain the roof and basement in good order and promptly mitigate/repair any water leaks or water damage due to roof leaks or water seepage through the basement walls or a main drain blockage or backup.
Also, check to make sure that the tenant insurance policy for SH covers water damage due to roof leaks, wall seepage, and drain backups. Some policies omit such water-related coverage. Much easier to get money from an insurance company than by suing a landlord for property damages.
