absentee owners
Nonresident property holders
Absentee owners hold property they don't live on or near.
The term appears most often in discussions of rental housing and farmland, where distant owners may neglect maintenance or extract profits without investing in the community: Absentee owners let the building deteriorate.
The phrase carries implicit criticism—someone profiting from property without bearing its daily realities.
