If I remember correctly, the homeowner does, however nothing prevents
the homeowner/renter attaching an even larger UPS for even longer
emergency usage.  If I remember correctly, the UPS is sized to provide
phone service and the like for longer than most power failures.  A
Katrina length outage requires a generator eventually and the phone
service failed anyway for the most part in the portions of the US
greatly affected by Katrina.  Incidentally with a little skill, one
could likely power the small UPS with a car battery kept charged up by
an automobile, meaning that until gasoline disappeared to power the car,
one could have phone service and internet service if one has a laptop or
other similar entity.
