''You've no morality what do you care''
''You deal in poverty you buy despair"''|[[The Police]], "Landlord" }}
In a series dealing with a character staying in apartment-style housing, a landlord is a common sight. The job description entails what one would expect: The upkeep of the building and grounds. However, while landlords are a diverse bunch visually, there is one hard and fast rule: Make them entertaining, or at the very least, intriguing.

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The archetypal example is Otonashi Kyoko from [[Rumiko Takahashi|Takahashi Rumiko's]] ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]''.
Line 31 ⟶ 29:
* "The Landlady" [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|(no actual name known)]] in ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]''.
* Otose from ''[[Gintama]]''.
* Misae Sagara from ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'', the supervisor for Sunohara's dorm. Apparently, it's very easy to influence her into violence against the immature rugby team members, such as practicing wrestling moves for peeking in the girl's dorm or drop kicks to people who don't clean their plates at dinner. And it's always awesome when she does. She even gets a sort of mini route that sees its resolution in Tomoyo's route.
* Miya Asama, the [[Big Good|landlady]] from ''[[Sekirei]]'' always sees herself as the [[Cool Big Sis]], though everyone else sees her as a [[Mama Bear]]
* Taeko of ''[[Otaku no Musume-san]],'' whose tenants are slowly trying to make her into [[Maison Ikkoku|Kyoko]], starting with an apron with a chick on it and later naming the dog Soichiro.
Line 71 ⟶ 69:
** Who, curiously, is implied to have been summoned by the apartment rather than being the owner proper; to start with, there ''was'' no landlord, but someone commented on this deficiency and the maybe-sentient apartment complex obliged.
* The main characters from ''[[Absurd Notions]]'' eventually had Dr Ümlaut, the least caring professor ever, assigned as their landlord. He was also the least caring Landlord ever, not caring what the tenants did with their apartment.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Justice League]]'', "Hearts and Minds"; Despite being the Fasted Man Alive and a super-hero who has tussled with Darkseid and the Injustice League, the Flash is very ill-equipped to deal with John's psycho landlady when they need to break into John's apartment to find his Green Lantern power battery.
