Its replacement suggestions were Property Owner or Proprietor. Those both seem like decent replacements.

  They are decent replacements, but I also don't think "landlord" is actually a gendered word in modern language, so I'm not sure what there is to be offended about.

    It's not about being offended, it's about having control. The power to change words, and what that represents.

    "Landlord" is gendered; people still regularly use "landlady" to refer to a woman property owner/lessor. There's room for a neologism here. Maybe "landliege" to keep it sounding feudal?

  Neither of those terms carries an implication that the person is the lessor of a rented property, as opposed to an owner/occupier.
