The tort law that the landlords are violating is negligence. Negligence occurs when a person or entity fails to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm or damage to others. In this case, the landlords had a legal responsibility to fix the leaking roof, but they ignored multiple requests from tenants. As a result, when the roof caved in during a heavy rainstorm, it caused damage to the tenants' apartments and belongings. This failure to address the issue in a timely manner constitutes negligence.
