In Argentina community fees are expensas comunes and what they call derrama in Spain is expensas extraordinarias. Generally the first ones are paid by the tenant, if their contract says so. The derrama is always paid by the property owner, hence the importance of such distinction.
I've never heard in the States that a tenant should pay for any expenses other than electricity, phone, gas, cable TV, Internet and maybe water bills, so the distinction might be less important.
