A landlord is the owner of a house, apartment, condominium, land or real estate which is rented or leased to an individual or business, who is called a tenant (also a lessee or renter). When a juristic person is in this position, the term landlord is used. Other terms include lessor and owner. The term landlady may be used for female owners, and lessor applies to both genders.
The concept of a landlord may be traced back to the feudal system of manoralism (seignorialism), where a landed estate is owned by a Lord of the Manor (mesne lords), usually members of the lower nobility which came to form the rank of knights in the high medieval period, holding their fief via subinfeudation, but in some cases the land may also be directly subject to a member of higher nobility, as in the royal domain directly owned by a king, or in the Holy Roman Empire imperial villages directly subject to the emperor. The medieval system ultimately continues the system of villas and latifundia of the Roman Empire.
Cold floors, landlords
Knocking knocking, should we let him in
Should we lock the doors and throw away the key
What should we hide first? Should we
Throw away the door, throw away the sink
Throw away every comforting thing
Throw away the beds so no one can tell
This is how we,this is how we'll
Cut the power off, give me cold, cramped rooms
Disconnected phones and leaky roofs
Give it to me in large large upaid bills
This is how we, this is how we'll
Spend the rest of our days
Forever and always, this is
This how we learn from our mistakes
Repeat them over again
Put them all together, that's what we'll do
With a little curtain seperating each room
Argue, bicker and fight
Everyone plots their escape
But in the end there's nowhere else to go
This is all we know
Noise spilling out from the traffic on the boulevard
Broken glass and hix in the towyard
Out back say, this is a declaration of war
We've heard that before
This is how we respond to a crisis
First we steal each other's stuff
Then we hide in all four corners of the house
Trying to pass the blame
We form another angry band
Brandon took all the pots and pans
And locked them in his room
