Owning a property is not a job but maintaining one can be. If you don't own the property then that'd just be called being a janitor.

Janitors are cleaners. Typically the people who maintain apartments are called maintenance workers, handymen, or (old fashioned) superintendent. Sometimes property manager, if they also handle renting it out.

Definition of janitor:

one who keeps the premises of a building (such as an apartment or office) clean, tends the heating system, and makes minor repairs

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/janitor

a person employed to take care of a large building, such as a school, and who deals with the cleaning, repairs, etc.

Or

a person whose job is to clean and take care of a building

Janitors are only employed in large, expensive apartment buildings. Single family homes don't use them, nor do cheaper apartments. So that's not really descriptive of a landlords job at all.

Landlord can be the person responsible for that (depends on the agreement) and often where I'm from they contract it from bigger company

I only disagreed with your definition of janitor.
