Approximately never are any of those costs taken care of by the landlord! The renter is paying for them, plus a profit margin for the landlord. That's what rent is. The landlord isn't running a charity.
Only exception is if you luck into a rental by someone who paid off the property long ago and doesn't care to charge market prices for it.
- dragonwriter 6y agoGP seemed to use “taken care of by rhe landlord” to mean “bundled with the rent, and not a separate fee on top”, which is relevant to cost comparisons based only on purchase/finance cost vs rent cost.
