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...
Registration of title of land
Registration of title of land. The (English) Land Registration Act, 1925 (15 Geo. 5, c. 21), repeals and re-enacts the (English) Land Transfer Acts, 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 87) and 1897 (60 & 61 Vict. c. 65), with amendments in keeping with innovations which were introduced by the property laws of 1925. Its object is to simplify the indicia of land ownership and transfer by mere inscription and transcription in a register. The advantages which are claimed for the system are (a) purchasers for value of an absolute or good leasehold title are absolved from any inquiry into the title other than it is shown to be on the register; (b) certain equitable claims which would be binding on the land under the general law and cannot be removed or over-reached without onerous formalities do not affect such purchasers; (c) the method of conveyance or charge is simple; (d) subject to the statutory provisions, registration guarantees the title to purchasers for value and mortgagees. It should be observ...

Year to year
Year to year, in s. 17(d) of the Registration Act, 1908, would mean that it relates to a year according to the 'British Calender' and not according to vernacular calendar. If this position is accepted, the lease deed of immovable property, from year to year, would become compulsorily registrable, if it is for a British calendar year, and not for a vernacular year. The words 'yearly rent' will have to be interpreted in the same manner as the words 'year to year' are interpreted, viz., the yearly rent according to British and not vernacular calendar, Dimili Narayana v. Dimili Stayanarayan, (1975) 2 Andh WR 226: (1975) 1 APLJ 372: 1975 ALT 190....
