    where does the person move to then after selling the house they live in? could it be…they have another house thus being a landlord?

    you are right on the second part, though.

      Usually they have moved into their new home and have their uninhabited house on the market trying to get rid of it.

      Maybe I’m missing implication in another culture, but around me landlord specifically refers to someone owning a home that is being actively rented/leased by another. If you haven’t had tenants, you aren’t considered a landlord
