Hi Sorry for my english but: in french "le locataire" is the one that live in a place he don't own and he pays "le loyer" to the "propriétaire" who is also called "le bailleur". "le bailleur" is the person that makes a contract of rent with "le locataire" = this contract is "le bail" So we don't use the world "loueur" but "bailleur" or the more common "propriétaire" However you can use the verb "louer" for both of them : "le locataire loue un appartement à Paris" and "le bailleur loue son appartement de Paris" Hope I could help **
