??? I lived in an apartment that was designed in 1902, single level motel like cinder block place and I had no outlet outside but I could park nearish the front door of my apartment. By using cracks in the sidewalk and 2 minutes of ingenuity I was miraculously able to charge my car for 2 years, asked and the landlord didn't care after finding out the monthly cost.
2nd landlord I put in a special kind of lightbulb adapter in the socket in front of my apartment and replaced the 200 watt flood with an LED and miraculously I again was able to charge my EV. Albeit I was limited to 10 amps which I could select on my charger but it worked.
Many landlords I have encountered truly don't care either way (they won't help or hinder), in fact they are more than happy to allow you to do anything you want, so long as the place is left in better shape then when you got there and you don't damage anything.
I think you either aren't asking or didn't ask the right question.
