there was no negligence on the landlord's part, I don't think.
The theif simply got into the garage of the apartment complex and stole my bike. Cut the
cable on the bike, and and stole it. I am so sick over it.

No he's not. In fact, If your whole entire apartment building burned down, he would owe you absolutely nothing. Thats what renters insurance is for. Its super cheap - I would recommend it. You can get it at any regular insurance company. I'm pretty sure it's only like $10/month for the average renter to cover everything on the property.
Sorry to hear aboout your bike.

Barometer Soup is correct. Landlord is not negligible for anything stolen or damage to your stuff. This is the reason it would be wise to get Renters Insurance. I had this when I rented years ago.
You would be surprised of the amount of 'renters' that do not have this. In case of a fire and you lose everything, you are standing there empty handed while the landlord is covered for loss of his building and building content (furnace, water heaters, utilities, etc), and NOT the apartments contents.

Sorry, but that is what "renter's insurance" is for. If you read your lease it will clearly state that loss or damage to your personal property is your responsibility.
Even if the roof of your apartment caves in and all of your personal belongings including computer, TV, VCR, and iPod are destroyed - your landlord has no liability.
(Would it make sense for a homeowner to hold a mortgage company or bank responsible when they get burglarized?)
On the positive side, renter's insurance is very cheap; something like $100/year.

I completely experience you. My boyfriends bike basically have been given stolen in the present day!!! And we live in a gated house, yet that doesnt matter considering that maximum thefts and smash-ins take place in the time of the DAY.. whilst the gate continues to be huge open so as that maximum those that dont even stay right here can basically force up in right here and thieve ****. I dont be attentive to what our landlord is gonna say yet from what i hear they dont provide a **** approximately what is going on so some distance as crime on the apt. He used to roll it interior the home whilst he wasnt making use of it (till we've been on condition that warning letter...!) I dont be attentive to what he/they are going to do. the police do no longer care the two. confident they do make alarms, heavy chains for a bike (so u cant roll it, or raise it right into a truck). If u have sturdy coverage they might pay back for it... my bf reported if something ever got here approximately to his bike they might pay him on the fringe of what its properly worth. In great cities it is amazingly hardship-loose... extraordinarily at residences. It doesnt even matter if yopu are in a "sturdy section". I stay in a so-referred to as "sturdy section" and there is been a smash-in on the complicated.. in huge daylight hours. And now look, my boyfriend's bike is long gone.. he purely went to an afternoon classification just to return back to be certain that its long gone. I dont have faith each individual right here...

I'm sorry to say, your landlord only carries insurance to protect their investment. As a renter, it was up to you get renter's insurance to protect your own property.
My wife and I have always bought renter's insurance for all the different places we lived at, and thankfully we never had a fire or anything like that. Finally, we bought our own home, so now we have home owner's insurance/auto insurance package.

You might be able to get it covered if you have renter's insurance, but your landlord has zero responsibility. You parked your bike at your own risk.

I imagine that the landlord has already absolved himself of liability even before you put the there

no, your renters insurance should cover you, if you don't have that get it, it is really cheap and covers all of that. Your landlord will not pay you.

No, the landlord is in no way responsible

No. If it was covered under your tenants policy, you might get something from insurance. but your landlord is not to blame.
