0 a woman who is paid rent by people for the use of a room, building, or piece of land that she owns
1 a woman who is in charge of a pub or bar
2 a woman who owns a room, building, or piece of land that someone else pays rent to use
3 a woman who owns or manages a pub, bar, or small hotel
In this case a continuity is found with these landladies.
The landlady's husband was out and knew what happened very late.
One fine autumnal morning he did not, as usual, dawdle after his breakfast but instead summoned the landlady's daughter to clear the table.
The landlady is in that position in respect to the couple seeking to rent from her.
Similarly, compounds like landlord/landlady are being reanalyzed as monomorphemic, with landlord being used as the gender-neutral form.
If his work kept him late for a meal, he had satirical reproaches cast upon his head by the landlady.
Even the stolid-looking landlady lends an element of calm.
Next door there had been an inn, run by a female landlady.
