That assumes that the landlord lives in a different tax jurisdiction. Possible, certainly, but not inevitable.

If he lives in that jurisdiction then he is paying the taxes for the place where he is living.
But also benefits from the taxes paid on the rental property that help pay for things they and their family use.
How does he benefit from the rental property? He doesn't live there an use the services. If he lives somewhere else in the town he pays taxes based on that. He charges rent for the other location to cover the taxes because he doesn't benefit from those taxes. The renter does.
