You have two problems. One is legal. I suggest that you contact a
legal professional to see what recourse you may have there. The good news
is that many locations offer free legal assistance for those in these kind
of situations. Check around at local senior citizen groups to see what may
be available.
The second problem is the roof. Water is very damaging to buildings.
"can I put a drip pan to catch this water?" Yes, but it will likely mean
additional damage, You need to fix the leak not catch the water.
