Replacing water filters is much like replacing a lightbulb that goes out. They’re things you use, and they wear out. It’s probably referring to whatever is hooked up to the sink or fridge filtration, and they need replacing every 6 months or so (sometimes every 3, depending). I feel like that’s normal. Now, if an appliance breaks, that’s on the landlord. If it was saying you were responsible for repairs like that, that’d be a red flag. The rest is pretty typical, even in my last building, if the internet went out for the whole building, they’d address it, but on an individual basis per router, they probably just want you to resolve it on your own if it’s only an issue with yours and not the rest. But, worth asking the building management the extent of the coverage on these matters - even on things like what the filters cost, and have them help set expectations.
