What bills does the landlord pay?

That depends on the apartment! Some have all utility's included and some dont. Some include heat but not electricity With all apartments you have to pay your own phone bill. But some include basic cable. Most all apartment in my town include water and garbage pickup. You may want to get renters insurance to cover your personal property. But most renters do not pay property insurance or taxes. Some landlords charge extra for pets if allowed. You need to ask the landlord of the apartment you are looking at whats included and whats not. And consider what services you want? Do you want a phone? Or cable tv? Or high speed internet? In short most renters just pay rent and some or all utility's
