Examples of landlord in a Sentence

1. State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman:

   The current real-estate boom ... is not like the real-estate booms we have seen before, it is not going down. This is the landlord-tenant equivalent of climate change.

2. Solomon Greene:

   Most renters don't know what kind of mortgage their landlord has.

3. William Seward Burroughs:

   So cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal.

4. Scott Pruitt:

   This was like an Airbnb situation, when I was not there, the landlord, they had access to the entirety of the facility. When I was there, I only had access to a room.

5. Svenja Gudell:

   If you are renting, your landlord can increase your rent at any time. Tenants almost usually face an increase in rental payment, we also find that folks out there who are highly rent-burdened (people who spend a very large percentage of their income on rent) have a tough time planning ahead for retirement and saving up emergency funds.
