Yes they did. They came in once a year for their annual inspection. I remember one year the guy said "I hope you have insurance". I had a couple of minor spills, but never a flood. Actually, the most water damage sustained was from a big jug (8 litres?) of water I had stowed as part of an earthquake kit. There was a pinhole in it and it drained out. I didn't discover it until months later. One time the manager came up asking about water leaking down into the next unit below, but it was leaking down into the bathroom below and she was concerned about the plumbing in my bathroom. Nothing was out of the ordinary. All I could do was shrug my shoulders and she was gone. Long story short, I never suffered any retribution and I got my full damage deposit back. I was in there for 8 years, so they redid the carpet after I was out. I would have liked to have seen underneath as the ripped the old stuff up.
Cheers,
