Best Answer

Members of the nobility owned the houses on their manors.

The landed gentry was sometimes regarded as of the nobility, and sometimes not, but they owned land and the houses on it.

There were a lot of small land holders who owned their own land, they are referred to as yeomen.

In towns and cities, a lot of the housing was owned by landlords, who are probably best described as middle class.

The Church owned a lot of land and the houses on it.

Serfs and tenants, of course, did not own their houses.

What did peasants working on foreign-owned plantations suffer from?

There was no foreign owned plantations in the middle ages. The "plantation" system developed in the south and Caribbean in the late 1700's and early 1800's. This is several hundred years after the middle ages. Peasants worked on the land owned by the king. In Europe in the middle ages there was a patch work of holdings by nobles who gained land from marriages and the king as a reward for service. There wasn't "foreign owned" lands.
