But did you answer the question?

Let’s get basic, who is responsible for the apartment grounds, who is responsible for all of the apartment mechanicals; heat, air, water, sewage, trash, etc, who is responsible to keep the apartments compliant with city codes, who is responsible to keep undesirable tenants out? The landlord, that’s who. If you would take time to step outside of your bubble and seek to understand how the flow of goods and services work you may avoid the embarrassment of asking dumb questions.
