I think you are asking about the landlord being an LLC (limited liability corporation). It should be just the same for you on a day-to-day basis. A person will put the ownership of a rental property into a corporation to protect themselves during any possible lawsuit. It limits the possible award to the tenant to the equity in the building.

Imagine you rent a house from a rich man, the house falls on your cat and you sue the landlord for $1 million. The jury likes cats, you win and the landlord is out $1M.

So the man (now poorer) creates an LLC, putting $100K into it. The LLC buys a house for $500K, putting in its $100K and getting a mortgage for $400K. The LLC rents the house to a dog-owner. This house falls on the dog and the renter sues for $2M. This guy can only win $100K because that's all the LLC is worth. The tenant can't go after the man's remaining money.
