Dear Landlord originated in Carbondale, Illinois, with connections to prominent Midwest punk outfits The Copyrights and Rivethead. Their 2009 LP Dream Homes was released on No Idea Records, featuring tracks like I Live in Hell, Rosa, and Lake Ontario, among others. The band has contributed to notable splits, including the Chinese Telephones split (2007) and the Off With Their Heads split (early 2010s), and lent a track to The Thing That Ate Larry Livermore compilation in 2011. An archival release, Singles and Outtakes 2007–2012, dropped on Bandcamp on July 18, 2025, highlighting a body of work from the era. In 2024–2025, the group discussed working on new material, though no firm 2025 tour dates have been publicly announced yet.
