An absentee landlord is someone who owns a property but is not physically present to oversee its management. Some synonyms for absentee landlord include remote landlord, disengaged landlord, off-site landlord, non-resident landlord, and absentee property owner. These terms highlight the fact that the property owner is not directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the property. While absentee landlords may still have certain rights and responsibilities, they are often viewed as being less invested in the upkeep and maintenance of their properties. This can sometimes lead to disputes with tenants or other stakeholders who feel neglected or ignored by the absent property owner.
