Presumably when the landlord rented the place out they did so at a price that would cover their mortgage and other expenses including maintainance. That landlord's problem isn't covering expenses, it's that they're envious of the increasing profits of other landlords.

Opportunity costs. Of course rent control policies try to offset the external cost of pricing out people from their homes.
