"Free" as it isn't the renters responsibility. If something breaks they call the landlord and say fix it.

Obviously the maintenance cost will be baked into the rent cost, or as an added fee as shown in your example.

We had to fix it or arrange to have it fixed, then the landlord would verify it was fixed to their satisfaction. The landlord was otherwise hands off until it exceeded the cost limit. This was the norm for the area.

No, you're fine! I didn't specify. I lived with it for so long, it didn't even occur to me to outline the process.
