Liability for repairs arising from natural disasters

My aircon broke down just after the earthquake on the 1st.

Am I really on the hook for this?

What’s the expectation in Japan? The landlord is not pointing to anything in the tenancy to justify not paying.

In my country, the landlord pays for repairs provided you haven’t used the property unreasonably. I certainly could not be accused of that here – and indeed am not.

How am I liable for this? It’s his propoperty – if I pay for a new aircon, he’s getting the benefit, too.
