Not directly. The owner of the property is responsible for paying the property taxes. However, you should understand that how much rent you pay is determined, in part, by how much property tax the owner pays. In other words, the owner needs to charge enough rent to cover his costs (taxes, maintenance, insurance, mortgage payments, etc.). Otherwise, he is losing money on the property.

Absolutely.....your obligation is to pay the rent...what he does or doesn't do....or when he does it, is absolutely of no concern to you. And your failure to pay rent does not change anything with his not paying the tax collector. That could be the reason he is having trouble! Paying rent is your obligation. Most landlords ding your credit (I would) after being five days late. I start eviction on day ten. If you are late twice, no chance of staying.
