Agree. Strange choice for a headline that comes across as quite western slanted. To whom would they pay rent exactly - long dead kings and princes? When the families have been living there continuously for 700 years, who's the landlord?

Historically, people who lived in castles were the landlords. Though we just called them lords for short.

Well, not all of them. Most of the inhabitants of a castle are still servants, after all.
