"Owner" can refer to any individual possessing something, but "landlords" are a specific type of owner that owns land. "Owner" can be used in this context, but "landlord, landowner" is more specific. Ex: My landowner owns many other properties in the city. Ex: The owner of the store had a dispute with his landowner.
