Discussion

Judith Imbo Apr 16, 2008:
If it is an individual instance then perhaps 'the owners of the holiday rental property' - but more context would help
Michael Burgess (asker) Apr 16, 2008:
context I understood it in the text as the actual home owners who are renting out the property...
Judith Imbo Apr 16, 2008:
Would it be possible to provide more context ? ( in case this is in reference to an agent who is acting on behalf of owners)

summer house landlord / vacation property landlord

This is what I would suggest. Vacation property is commonly used in the US, although it is a little vague, as it could also refer to timeshare property.

or "vacation home landlord"

I would go with vacation home landlord. If it's for the UK, use holiday in lieu of vacation. Here are some links:

Was the customer a Dane?
Note from asker:
thx. I actually wrote "vacation home landlord" in a text, but the customer complained and I was trying to figure out if I was totally off...
Peer comment(s):
agree Adrian MM. (X) : Also: summer house letter (BE). Vacation = AE/Am. Eng. such as US and Can. The client may either be BE/Brit. Eng.-oriented or be suggesting the house is used not only for vacations i.e. holidays.

gite landlord

Gite is, of course, a French term, but it is a universal term and usually not translated. Vacation home is an alternative.
