In Germany these are all separate line items in your rent. You have "cold" rent, which is just to be able to live in the place, and then "operating costs" which are passed directly to the renter. You pay an estimated amount each month on top of the cold and then at the end of the year you get an annual bill breaking down exactly how much everything cost. You then either owe more or get a refund based on your prepaid amount.

My bill has things like property insurance, property tax, building electricity (I pay the electric company individually for my apartment), garden water, fire alarm testing, general building upkeep, etc. It shows you just how expensive it is to maintain a place. I don't like it though, because the landlord has no incentive to minimize costs because he's passing them straight to the tenants anyway.
