Spanish term or phrase: senor de la renta
A clue in a game similar to "Where's Wally?".

Sorry, I don't have any further context or a picture. The only thing that comes to mind is "taxman", but that's a complete guess! Any ideas? Thanks in advance!:

agree  celestedolores: Spanglish speakers tend to use "renta" and "rentar" only for rent and to rent. (Not "aquilar o aquiler", so el senor de la renta for landlord makes sense.
