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.
