Unless you can prove they knew or should have known of the rot You have no claim.
Re: rotten tree falls on my car
unless the church or the apartment complex knew or should have known that the tree was rotten, you are probably out of luck. Had other limbs fallen before? had anyone complained? if so, you may have a case. If you have comprehensive insurance coverage, that may cover the loss. finally, you should check with the church's and the apartment complex to see if they have property insurance (like a homeowner's policy) -- that frequently will provide coverage for the loss.
