    Owning a property is not a job but maintaining one can be. If you don’t own the property then that’d just be called being a janitor.

      Janitors are cleaners. Typically the people who maintain apartments are called maintenance workers, handymen, or (old fashioned) superintendent. Sometimes property manager, if they also handle renting it out.

          Janitors are only employed in large, expensive apartment buildings. Single family homes don’t use them, nor do cheaper apartments. So that’s not really descriptive of a landlords job at all.

            Landlord can be the person responsible for that (depends on the agreement) and often where I’m from they contract it from bigger company

        We often just call them janitors here, I bet the vernacular changes from place to place. But cleaners are often separate, janitors do maintenance work and cleaners do cleaning work
