leaseholder
A person who rents or leases a piece of land, a building, or a business for a fixed period of time in order to manage it and generate income from it.

The noun 'der Pächter' (leaseholder) belongs to the word family around the verb 'pachten' (to lease) and the noun 'die Pacht' (lease). All of these words describe renting something in order to generate income with it.
Er pachtet seit zehn Jahren dieses Stück Land.
He has been leasing this piece of land for ten years.
A 'Pächter' (leaseholder) uses the rented object to generate profit, for example by running a farm, a restaurant, or a garden. The focus is on commercial or economic use.

As the leaseholder of the kiosk by the lake, he sells ice cream and drinks.
You are often the leaseholder of a farm, a restaurant, an allotment garden, or a hunting ground. The person who leases something out is 'der Verpächter' (lessor).

A new leaseholder is being sought for the old farm.
owner
'der Besitzer' and 'der Pächter' both have to do with an object, a piece of land, or a building. The important difference is: the thing belongs to the Besitzer. The Pächter only uses it for a certain period of time and pays for it, often in order to earn money from it or manage it. The words can be confused because, in everyday life, a Pächter may seem like the person in charge. Legally, however, the Besitzer is the owner, while the Pächter only has a right of use.

The leaseholder of the small restaurant opens at six every evening.
