Landlords

A landlord is defined as any individual that rents out a singular property or complex of properties (such as apartments) under a lease or license shorter than seven years. While the responsibilities of the landlord may vary widely between properties and tenants, they primarily refer to three key areas:
Maintenance of the property;
Satisfaction of the tenants; and
Staying in line with the most up-to-date legal advice regarding the provision of housing.
Landlords can roughly be divided up into categories, detailed as follows:
Short-term landlord: Housing residents for less than 28 days
Long-term landlord: Housing residents for more than 28 days but less than 7 years
Long-term landlord (more than 7 years): Landlord duties are the same as the above long-term landlord provided there is an implied tenancy arrangement, often relating to accommodation provided as part of a job
