There are independent landlords out there. One of my cousins rents out a bit of his property to some dude because its seperated by thick brush and its easier to just rent out the remote edges of the property than it is to make trails and do the required paperwork for the permit. He also rents a chunk out to the road maintenance company.

My point being theres landlords and then theres Landlords one is just someone renting out property for whatever reason and the other makes is running it as a business.
