Landlord

The Landlord in an NPC that came with The Sims 2: Apartment Life. Their job is to maintain the communal living space of the apartment and collect rent from tenants.

Sim talking to the landlord.

When a Sim first enters an apartment lot, the landlord will come to greet them and will wait until the player chooses an apartment. Then the landlord will want the Sim to sign the rental agreement and pay the rent.

Landlords will come every day to repair broken objects, do the gardening and clean outdoors. They will also throw an apartment party every Saturday, where they order pizza (or grill if a barbeque is present in a communal area), while other neighbors socialize.

If a Sim has a high enough relationship with the landlord, they have a good chance that their rent will be reduced.

Landlords can even marry and move in with a Sim, and they will be replaced by a new Landlord.

The premade landlords are the same for every neighborhood, but they will have randomly assigned names in each game.
