der Vermieter, –
landlord
Eine Person, die eine Wohnung, ein Haus oder einen Raum an jemand anderen gegen Bezahlung überlässt.
The German word "Vermieter" is a noun and means "landlord" or "lessor". It is composed of the prefix "ver-", which typically indicates a change in status or condition, and "Mieter", which means "tenant" or "renter". A "Vermieter" is the person who rents out property to tenants.
Similar words in German include "Makler" (realtor or agent), although a "Makler" acts as an intermediary in the renting process and is not the owner of the property, and "Eigentümer" (owner), which refers generally to one who owns property, whether or not they lease it out. The key difference lies in the relationship to the property and the function - "Vermieter" rent out their property, while "Eigentümer" own the property but may or may not rent it out.
