Question

A landlord rented out his apartment, and during the rental period, the tenants want to buy a new trash bin for the building. Who is responsible for the purchase payment, the landlord or the tenant?

Answer

The responsibility lies with the landlord, as it is a permanent fixture for a long time and not part of the regular expenses that the tenant should cover.
