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

uninhabited house on the market

so landlords

If someone never had and is not looking for a tenant and is actively waiting for someone to buy their property, they are not a landlord.

and thusly they could, on a whim, turn around and decide to sell their house. for no reason or any reason. Because they own that land. they are lord of that land. a landlord one might say. Gee language is fun
