I've already explained the logic here, so I don't feel the need to repeat myself. It's not my fault if you cannot understand it.

You can have the last word here.

You just don't want to acknowledge that landlords are a type of authority, which is a point anyone with half a brain could admit.

Landlords are a legal title, but even if they somehow weren't they would still make up a social hierarchy. You should be opposed to them if you advocate
an-archy. "-Archy" is a suffix meaning a type of rule.

v. ruled, rul·ing, rules

To exercise control, dominion, or direction over; govern.
To dominate by powerful influence.

A landlord is someone who uses the system of private property--a state system, whether we call it public or private--to dominate land, buildings and people who become "tenants." You could try to prove this isn't some type of authority, but you're only deluding yourself.

It's not impossible to look up the history of landlordism.

Leasehold estate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Tenancy was essential to the feudal hierarchy; a lord would own land and his tenants became his vassals."

Vassal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The etymology of "vassal" is from a Celtic word gwas 'boy' that designated a young male slave.

Tenancy is nowadays very essential to corporate hierarchy.
