It depends on whether your land encompasses the stream or abuts it and how it was described in the deed description. If the stream is on your land in most jurisdictions in the US you cannot make any changes in the stream that would have any negative affect on the other land owners downstream. You cannot divert the water or block it in any way. Water rights are generally addressed by state laws. In the eastern part of the US those rights are referred to as riparian rights. In the Western part they are more commonly called usufructuary rights.

If the landlord is the sole owner of the property, and you are the lessee, they remain the landlord/sole owner despite where they may live.
