locataire

tenant

noun loh-kah-TEHR Rare

Also means

renter

Usage Note

Locataire is a common-gender noun — the same form is used for both male and female tenants. It contrasts with propriétaire ('owner/landlord') and sous-locataire ('subtenant'). The related verb louer means both 'to rent' (as a tenant) and 'to rent out' (as a landlord), so context matters.

Examples

"Le locataire a payé son loyer."

Natural Translation

The tenant paid his rent.
