 City Project | Commentary | Absentee Landlord Surcharge
The Absentee Landlord Tax, as it is known, is expected to generate at least $44 million in much-needed revenues for the city in its first full year, to help close looming budget gaps of at least $1.8 billion, $3.4 billion, and $3.9 billion for Fiscal Years 2005 - 2007.
And even with the Absentee Landlord Tax Surcharge, they will, in fact, continue to be taxed at a lower rate, on a smaller portion of the assessed value of their properties, and have tax increases phased in more slowly, than owners of other residential properties, including co-op and condo homeowners, and all commercial owners.
Finally, for tax purposes, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, an absentee landlord of residential rental properties is an absentee landlord of residential rental properties -regardless of the number of rental apartments or size of the building.

 A. Tucker's Big Four: Absentee Landlordism
Absentee landlord rent, and exclusion of homesteaders from vacant land by an absentee landlord, are both considered illegitimate by mutualists.
For example, he wrote, absentee landlordism itself compelled the cultivation of marginal land to a degree that would not occur were all vacant land open to cultivation, and thus increased the differential between the best and worst land under cultivation.
He believed that absentee landlord rent far outweighed it in importance, and that it could be safely left alone so long as landlordism was abolished.

 INVESTMENT
The landlord accomplishes investment in the vineyard by planting and hedging it, and then building the wine press and tower (I don't know the purpose of the tower unless it was needed as a "lookout" platform to enable observation of the approach of robbers who would "hijack" the crop).
Implicitly, then, the landlord functions both as a "capitalist" in the modern sense of the word, and as an entrepreneur in undertaking the venture which turns out to be riskier than he had imagined.
Although the workers kill the landlord's son (or reject the stone which eventually becomes the corner stone), even they, wicked as they are, still may have a chance to come back to work in the vineyard (participate in the Kingdom) if only they will confess and renounce their sin of killing the landlord's own son.

 Guardian | Will reform give owners a new lease of life?
Assuming that the landlord has responsibility for repair of the exterior as is generally the case, the leaseholders could apply to the county court requesting that it appoint a manager under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987.
As mentioned, under the current law the landlord cannot seek to forfeit the lease (bring it to an end) without first taking the dispute to the tribunal for resolution, but the landlord could make a claim for the sums owed in the county court.
If the landlord were to take the matter to the county court and obtain a judgment to recover any charges at all then the leaseholders could be required to pay some or all of the landlord's costs.

 FONOVISA, INC. v. CHERRY AUCTION, INC., 76 F.3d 259 (9th Cir. 1996) (LOISLAW)
In one line of cases, the landlord-tenant cases, the courts had held that a landlord who lacked knowledge of the infringing acts of its tenant and who exercised no control over the leased premises was not liable for infringing sales by its tenant.
In the district court's view, with respect to both control and financial benefit, Cherry Auction was in the same position as an absentee landlord who has surrendered its exclusive right of occupancy in its leased property to its tenants.
[14] This analogy to absentee landlord is not in accord with the facts as alleged in the district court and which we, for purposes of appeal, must accept.

 George Reisman's Blog on Economics, Politics, Society, and Culture: Mutualism: A Philosophy for Thieves
Absentee landlord rent, and exclusion of homesteaders from vacant land by an absentee landlord, are both considered illegitimate by mutualists.
The actual occupant is considered the owner of a tract of land, and any attempt to collect rent by a self-styled landlord is regarded as a violent invasion of the possessor's absolute right of property.
He is thus, necessarily, an “absentee landlord.” And Carson has also just said: “Absentee landlord rent, and exclusion of homesteaders [i.e., presumably the second occupant-user] from vacant land by an absentee landlord, are both considered illegitimate by mutualists.

 Intimations of the Year of Jubilee in the Parables of the Wicked Tenants and Workers in the Vineyard
Unlike Thomas 93:1, the owner of the vineyard is not characterized as "a good man." He is an absentee landlord, and, like most absentee landlords in advanced agrarian society, he probably exploited the labor of his tenants by contracting for rent funds of 40 to 50 per cent of their agricultural produce.
To imagine God to be like an absentee landlord would be a disturbing anomaly for Jewish peasants but not necessarily for those who would tend to identify themselves with the absentee landlord and approve of killing the tenants, namely the ruling elite.
For them the absentee landlord would be metaphorically identified with God on the basis of the intended association of the introduction with Isaiah's "Song of the Vineyard," and the vineyard must necessarily symbolize Israel.
