Here's the definition of landlord I see > A landlord is the owner of a house, apartment, condominium, land, or real estate which is rented or leased to an individual or business How is that different from "property owner"? The difference is that to you, a native English speaker, landlord is a word you're familiar with. To others, it's a whole new word they need to learn, whereas property-owner is self-descriptive. It's like using good variable names in your code, you don't need to look up the definition of every word when you use re-use words that are common.

> How is that different from "property owner"? They mean different things: one is a subset of the other. A person who owns their own home that they live in is a property owner, but not a landlord.

  > that they live in Well that's new to me, because I absolutely do not get that from the term "property owner". For example, if I have a place I own that my brother lives in, and someone asks my brother "who is the property owner", he would definitely answer me. I own that property. How does the term property owner say anything about where the person lives in?
