If it is an emergency, then no, it's not a good thing.
There should be an emergency number to get in touch with someone 24/7.

No, this is not a good thing unless he/she has given the authority to a manager who assumes all responsibilities and you know that name and number.
In the area where I am, there are many absentee landlords/landlady's. They purchase these houses, rent them out while they live in another state with no authority given to a manager. I could name several right now that I know of. The tenants are left with problems that they should not be dealing with and which can be costly to the tenant, or a hazard.
Getting money spent back for what should be the owners responsibility becomes a problem.
I'm not saying that a landlord/landlady should be sitting home waiting for a call, but should be available at least by answering machine or someone given that authority who knows where the owner can be reached in case of emergency.

Too bad that the land lord is not the ex wife.
If you inability to get in touch with the land lord arises from your attempt to pay the rent then you will need to go to the bank and open an account payable to him and place the rental payments into that account. If your inability to get in touch with the land lord arises from issues having to do with the lease, then a registered return receipt letter is in order and then if returned unclaimed, to court you go to ponder the intricacies of equitable law.

If your landlord is a good person, he/she will accept the fact that you count contact him/her.
On the other hand, if he/she is a bad person, he/she will get mad at you for not exerting effect in contacting him/her.
Save your rent money, its almost obvious that you'll have to pay sooner or later.

I presume that he has hired a Managing Agent to handle his property on his behalf - therefore rent is paid to Managing Agent and if any problems/repair required you inform Managing Agent.

No. Put your rent money aside because chances are he'll pop again and want it all back!

No. It's illegal. He (or his agent) should be available at all reasonable times.
