The Most Deserving in the House Congregation

Question
Why is the owner of the house given precedence in congregational prayer if it is held in his house? Is it because he is the most deserving?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is preferable for the owner of the house to lead the prayer; because it is his property, and a man should not lead in his own property without his permission. And God knows best.
