landlord rights

Property owner privileges

Landlord rights are the legal entitlements of property owners who rent to tenants.

These typically include collecting rent, screening applicants, entering the property with notice, and evicting tenants who violate lease terms.

The phrase appears most often in debates about housing policy, where advocates frame tenant protections as eroding landlord rights: The new rent control law infringes on landlord rights.
