Lease
Lease [either from locatio, Lat., the letting of property, or laisser, Fr., to let, or leapum, or leasum, Sax., to enter lawfully], sometimes also called demise (demissio), is a grant of property for life, or years, or from year to year or at will, by one who has greater interest in the property. The person granting is called the lessor, who is possessed of the reversion (as to a reversion being essential to a lease, see 1 Platt on Lease, pp. 9 et seq.); he to whom the property is granted, the lessee. The consideration is usually the payment of a rent or other annual recompense. The ancient operative words were 'demise, lease, and to farm let,' or 'demise and lease.'The (English) Law of Property Act,1925, makes a distinction between leases for years which become legal estates if they consist of terms of years absolute and leases for life which have been converted into merely equitable interests if created under a settlement, but by s. 149 of the Act leases for life at a rent or in cons...
Terms for years
Terms for years. An estate for years is denominated a term, because its enjoyment is strictly fixed, for by 'term' is meant not only the interest which passes, but also the period for which it is held. It is a chattel real: chattel, because the estate passes to the owner's executors at his death, and did not pass to his heir-at-law, and so far partakes of the nature of personalty; real, because it is an interest in lands, and therefore partakes of the nature of real property.A term is usually created by a deed or speciality contract, called a lease or demise under the Common Law (see LEASE), and the appropriate operative verbs therein are 'demise,' or 'grant, lease, and to farm let'; but any wards showing the intent of the parties that the one (the lessor) shall divest himself of the possession, and the other (the lessee) come into it for a determinate time, are generally sufficient for the purpose.Terms could not be limited in succession or by way of remainder except by way of trust o...
Fee-farm rent
Fee-farm rent, where an estate in fee is granted in perpetuity, subject to a rent in fee for so much as it is reasonably worth, not being less than one-fourth of the value of the lands at the time of its reservation; and such rent appears to be called fee-farm, because a grant of land reserving so considerable a rent is indeed only letting lands to farm in fee-simple, instead of the usual method of life or years, Steph. Com., 13th Edn. At p. 480. If the rent be in arrear for two years the feoffor or his heirs may have an action to recover the lands as his demesnes. Cowel's Law Dict., citing Britton, cap. 66, num. 4. Formerly it was said that these rents could not be distrained for, but the (English) Landlord and Tenant Act, 1730 (4 Geo. 2, c. 28), s. 5, allowed distress, impounding and sale for the rents if the rents had been paid for three years. for the remedies in case of non-payment of these rents if created after 1881, see s. 121, (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, and for relie...
