As Rusty says, the examples can be generalized:
If you have "los tragos van por mi cuenta" and "los gastos serán por cuenta del inquilino", you can say "los tragos van/son/corren por cuenta de la casa".

Well, "por cuenta de" is invariable; it's only adapted to denote whose "property" is the "de" about.
The verbs don't change much either.

On the house, too.

The richness of languages is that there never is only one way to say things.
