The correct response is **Negligence**.

In this scenario, the landlords had a legal responsibility (duty of care) to maintain the property, and their failure to address the leaking roof after multiple requests constitutes a breach of that duty. As a result, the damage caused to tenants' apartments and belongings during the rainstorm falls under the umbrella of negligence.
