Yes, a roof leak led to water accumulating in the drywall until it weakened and fell last night at midnight. It really shook me up because the fall sounded like people banging at one of my doors.
I suspect ice dams increased the leakage because there was nothing but thawing happening. This morning there is much less dripping. I don't use the room where this happened. I'm not even sure how to proceed but I've sent the pictures to the landlord. It's on them now. Funky little shack. |

if you leave the light on long enough, will it boil the water?

Ooh, and you have mold. You can probably get your landlord to take action if you mention it.
Ice dams are likely part of the problem, if not the entire problem. Tight roofing and sufficient attic insulation will prevent this happening again. Don't let the landlord just repair the ceiling of the interior room; make him/her/them fix the problem at its root.

That looks like something the landlord should be told about. Even if he doesn't do a satisfactory fix, you can't be held liable for the damage.
