The real problem is lack of choice in where you live. If it wasn't the charger, then the folks in the article might have had another problem that their inflexible landlord would not resolve. If you have a choice, then things are a lot easier.
I rented a townhouse in the fall of 2019. As I was negotiating rent, move in dates, etc, I got the landlord to agree to have his electrician install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage at my expense. It was all quite painless. If he would have said "no", I'd have rented a different townhouse. I made it clear that was a deal breaker.
When I bought my current place, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it had a NEMA 14-50 already installed in the garage, so I didn't have to do anything to secure charging for my car.
