My car was stolen from my apartment's

''secured'' garage. I only had liability

insurance, should the landlord be liable for

anything?

Re: Tennant

Maybe.

The issue is did the landlord do anything negligent which contributed to the theft?

Another issue is to what extent has the landlord disclaimed liability for such things? The lease is probably full of disclaimers.

Possible theory: false advertising based on claims made as part of advertising about how secure the garage was.

It's hard to say without more facts, but it sounds like it could be a tough one to get the landlord on.
