A property owner is an individual or entity that holds legal title to a piece of real estate, which can include land, buildings, or other structures. This ownership grants them certain rights, such as the ability to use, rent, sell, or modify the property as they see fit, within the limits of local laws and regulations. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their properties and ensuring they comply with zoning laws and safety standards. They may also be liable for any injuries that occur on their property. Common types of property owners include private individuals, businesses, and government entities.
