Seems pretty straightforward.

I thought it was pretty clear that the Svartelves were mad because:
A) they found the implication that their own security measures were insufficient to be insulting and
B) Dresden's security measures were preventing them from grabbing Maggie as a hostage while they determined whether or not Harry was involved in the Assassination attempt to save her from the fire, and the inconvenience of this disgruntled them.

The exact same terminology applies to a leasehold.
The Swartalves were mad because they are controlling, which would suggest they were annoyed that they were being denied a supervening right of access as landlords.
There is simply more circumstantial evidence for Molly having a long leasehold than a freehold. They are creatures of rules and they clearly thought they were in the right. In trying to access the apartment.

The Svartelves, once the battle was over, once they knew that Harry had nothing to do with what Thomas had done were no longer mad, at least not at Harry or more importantly Molly. Why would they be insulted because their security measures fell short? The fact of the matter is they did fall short, some of their people died and their president was almost assassinated.

No. You don’t “own” a leased apartment. You are “renting” by common parlance. Molly (particularly pre-WL Molly) would be speaking in common parlance. If she says she “owns” the apartment. She means she isn’t “renting” particularly since she says she “owns it… it’s mine”. That’s not something someone who is renting would say.
