Line 8:
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.
The manager works as a logical and predictable [[Drop
Can crossover with [[Almighty Janitor]].
In terms of rank, the [[Authority Tropes]] arguably equal are [[Badass Preacher]], [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]], [[Good Shepherd]], [[Irish Priest]], [[Preacher Man]], [[Pedophile Priest]], [[Schoolteachers]], [[Sexy Priest]], [[Sinister Minister]] and [[The Vicar]]. For the next step down, see [[Student Council President]]. For the next step up, see [[Dean Bitterman]].

Line 30:
* Chitose in ''[[Chocotto Sister]]'', who was typically known as "Miss Manager" or "Miss Landlady."
* "The Landlady" [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|(no actual name known)]] in ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]''.
* Otose from ''[[Gintama]]''.
* Misae Sagara from ''[[Clannad]]'', the supervisor for Sunohara's dorm.

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
* The landlady at Falling Apartments in ''[[Crayon Shin-chan]]!'' "She should be nice to me, I come from a long line of slum lords." And [[Hilarity Ensues]] when Shin confuses "landlady" with "manlady". "She's just upset she'll never be a real lady!"
* Maiko Motohiro in ''[[Oku-sama wa Mahou Shoujo|Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo]]'' is the owner of the house where Ureshiko and Kagara lives, those it's Ureshiko who takes care of pretty much the entire household, since Maiko herself is quite old.
