How it's used
This term is primarily used in legal, formal, or administrative contexts rather than casual conversation. While it is technically correct to use in speech, most people simply refer to a property owner as 業主 in everyday life. Using the full phrase suggests a specific focus on legal rights or formal documentation.

Common mistake
Learners often use this term in casual settings where 業主 is far more natural and appropriate. It sounds overly stiff or like you are reading directly from a contract if used to describe a friend who owns a flat.
