    A Landlord is a natural or legal person entitled by law or agreement to dispose of a property. This definition includes the owner of the property, their legal representative, or an agent. It also encompasses a tenant who has been granted permission by the owner to sublet the property. Landlords are legally responsible for handing over the property in a good, usable condition and performing necessary maintenance. They are also the party entitled to receive rent as specified in a written lease contract.
