In the United Kingdom the manager of a public house is also called the landlord or, more formally, as the licensed victualler. A female landlord can either be called a landlady or simply landlord. When a legal person is in the same position the term landlord is used. Other terms used are lessor and owner, the term landlady is used in some jurisdictions for females. The tenant can also be called a lesee or renter.

In the UK a Landlord (with regard to a Publican) is the bloke in charge of the pub.
He either owns it outright (a Free House) or is employed by a Brewery or a Pub Chain to run one of their Pubs (A Managed House).

The geezer who runs the pub. Oddly enough, he could be the owner OR a tenant. I'd guess that the term derives from the day when most pubs had rooms to let for overnight travelers.

Landlord is the owner of the property, usually of a 'freehouse'.
