Translation

大家 / 家主 / 地主 / オーナー

Meaning

A landlord is a person who owns a property and rents it out to others. The person who pays the rent is the tenant; the person who collects it is the landlord. For a female owner, you can say 'landlady', though 'landlord' is now widely used for any gender. Japanese learners should note that 'landlord' does not always mean a large corporation — a single retired person with one spare apartment is also called a landlord.

Examples

• 大家さんに家賃を払うのが遅れた。
  I was late paying rent to my landlord.
• 大家が水道の修理をしてくれた。
  The landlord fixed the plumbing for us.
