Which, if you think about it, makes sense - the landlord is responsible 
for fixing everything, so the rent has to include something to offset the 
costs of repairs and other work to be done on the property.

If you buy, you're responsible for budgeting for things like that, 
because as the property owner, you're responsible for taking care of them.
