Electricity is usually paid by the tenant, no? Certainly, I've never rented a place where utilities were included.

The rest are a small fraction of the total cost of ownership (vs financing the initial purchase).

Rents appear to be going up faster than the total cost of ownership (the financing costs are fixed, or nearly so).

No - taxes are going up only as a percentage of rising market apprisals of existing housing, which is covered by the renter paying market rates for rent.

Electricity - not paid by landlord.

Labor - not sure what you mean.

Maintenance - fixed rates for home warranty for big things, minor costs for maintenance otherwise which are factored into rent monthly regardless of whether they are used. So that could account for single-digit percent rise in rates.

Anything else?
