Questions & Answers about Le bailleur demande le devis au lieu de chiffrer.

Why is it le bailleur and not just bailleur?

In French, nouns usually need an article. So le bailleur means the landlord / the lessor.

Using just bailleur by itself would usually sound incomplete in a normal sentence unless it appears in a special context such as a heading, label, or dictionary entry.

What does bailleur mean exactly?

Bailleur is a fairly formal word. It means the person who rents out a property or grants a lease, so in many contexts it is the landlord or the lessor.

A native speaker might also use propriétaire in some situations, but bailleur is more specifically tied to the legal or rental relationship.
