Your mistake is in framing landlord as a job.

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.

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

What poor service. Definitely not going to tip him at the end of the month, that's for sure.

But the end-of-quarter bonus is still on the table, right?

For 2 seconds I was thinking "Assigned Landlord At Birth?"
