Absolutely not ......IMHO if you are renting, & it is not specified in your lease or rental agreement, YES the landlord is responsible for the repairs, even the interiors. if the outside leak did not happen, the interior damage would of not happened.

In Texas can a landlord enter the house without permission?
In almost any state a landlord can enter the premises if there is good cause (leaking pipes, electrical problems, etc;) Your landlord should make an effort to contact you first but regardless of your consent, the landlord may go in and inspect if there is a potential hazard to the building or other tenants. It is important to remember that while your landlord owns the property, you, as a renter retain temporal eminence (meaning that you are the temporary owner). However, the landlord has a right to look after his/her long term interests. If the landlord feels that you have violated the terms of the lease, let's say that your contract forbids a water bed in the apartment unit and your neighbor below is complaining of water leaking through the ceiling; the landlord attempts to contact you by phone but you do not answer. In this case the landlord has the obligation to the one tenant complaining of water leaking through the ceiling by entering your apartment to find the cause. Like most legal matters the situation is governed by the "reasonable-ness" of the case. Your landlord cannot enter your apartment to look around, to open your drawers or inspect the quality of your furniture or even to make sure you are in compliance of the terms of the lease, that would be a violation of your right of privacy. It would be reasonable to presume that if your lease stated that you may not have a dog as a pet for any period of time and the landlord hears barking in your apartment, he /she may enter because the barking would make it reasonable to believe that there is a dog in the apartment.

Can your son sue the landlord for being hurt by somebody else on your rental property?
In general a landlord is not legally responsible for the actions of the people who rent housing from him or her. If your son was hurt by somebody else who lived in the same rental property because the building was defective and so this other tenant came crashing through your son's ceiling and struck him, then there would be a case. Otherwise, I don't see it.

Is it illegal for my landlord to go thru my mail inside my house with my name on it?
This depends on whether your landlord is responsible to ensure everyone gets their mail. If you are living in an apartment with a separate apartment number, then there should be a mailbox for that apartment, and the landlord should not have to look in the mail to see to whom it is distributed. But if you are living in some type of communal environment, or a hotel/motel, then the landlord or innkeeper must sort through the mail to deliver it properly.
