TENANT (from Lat. tenere, to hold)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 613 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TENANT (from Lat. tenere, to hold) , one who holds real property by some form of
title
  from a landlord. For the forms
of tenancy, &c., see LANDLORD AND
TENANT
 .
TENANT
 -RIGHT, in law, a
term
  expressing the right which a tenant has, either by custom or by law, against his landlord for compensation for improvements at the determination of his tenancy. In
England
  it is governed for the most
part
  by the Agricultural Holdings Acts and the Allotments and Small
Holdings Acts (see LANDLORD AND TENANT). In
Ireland
 ,
tenant-right was a custom, prevailing particularly in Ulster, by which the tenant acquired a right not to have his rent raised arbitrarily at the expiration of his
term
 . This resulted in Ulster in considerable fixity of
tenure
  and, in
case
  of a desire on the
part
  of the tenant to sell his farm, made the tenant-right of considerable
capital
  value, amounting often to many years' rent.
