- 1Plural of landlord.

Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular: those who let property to tenants, the keepers of British pubs, and even the slang shark, imagined as owner of the surf, which comes with the definite article as the landlord. Context decides which is meant. In the possessive the apostrophe follows the s, as in the landlords' association, which marks several owners rather than one landlord's.
