Meaning of "landlord" in English

A landlord is a person or entity that owns property (such as houses, apartments, or land) and rents or leases it to others, typically referred to as tenants. The landlord is responsible for maintaining the property and ensuring it is habitable for the tenants. The relationship between a landlord and tenant is governed by rental agreements and laws which specify rights and responsibilities, such as collecting rent and addressing repairs or complaints. Being a landlord can also involve managing multiple properties and dealing with financial, legal, and practical aspects of real estate.

Meaning of "locateur" in French

In French, "locateur" is not typically used in the same way as "landlord" in English. The more accurate term for "landlord" is "propriétaire." A "propriétaire" is someone who owns property and who rents it to someone else. They are responsible for the upkeep of the property and ensuring that it is suitable for tenants according to the rental agreement and French laws. The term "locateur" is less common and might be confused with the word "locataire," which means "tenant" in French.
