How the fugk is the landlord even a topic of conversation?
Would you rent a fugking camper in a warehouse and think "Gee, seems legit?"
No.
Would you climb a staircase made of pallets and think "I'm sure the owner knows what he's doing."
No.
The only way there is any culpability here is if there was arson.

Simple, several times so far folks have blamed the "owner" not the tenant. Calling for punishment upon the owner for what sounds like tenant abuse.
Like going after a landlord when a tenant opens a business without permits, or being zoned commercial.
The owner may not have even been aware of how his property was being used.
The second floor might have only been a storage loft. Accessed by ladder and loaded and off loaded by forklift. (I've worked on a few building like that.)
The tenant is the one concerned with his missing art, and not a word about the dead. He is most likely the architect of the staircase.
