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.
Definition of janitor:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/janitor
Or
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/janitor
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.
I only disagreed with your definition of janitor.
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
