Those are always included in your rent anyway, even if it's not obvious to you. Landlords like to at least break even, otherwise there would be no point in renting it out. Any kind of extra regulation or extra cost for landlords, will be reflected as an automatic rise in rents. If you try to artificially cap the rise in rents the result will be a shortage in rental units. I'm not a big fan of the "free market" for housing, but there's no free lunch for tenants.
