You would pay for these things through your rent. Landlords own housing to make a profit in the long term and are unlikely to lose money in the long term. If they find they have to shell out money for maintenance they would either put off the repairs, have already budgeted for long-term maintenance by charging additional rent to cover it, or do the maintenance and then put the rent up. The exact action taken by the landlord will depend on the circumstances.
