History of Property Renting

Why you have to Pay Rent?


For a certain number of years; landlords will reserve to themselves an annual return from the tenant, of their properties. Hence the property and lands thus granted were called farms in the old days and originated from the Saxon word form (meaning provisions). This compensation or return for the use of the land by loaning it thus acquired the name of rent and is defined by old Lords and judges to be an annual return made by the tenant. It can either be paid via labour, money, provisions, or in retribution for the land that passes; from which it follows, that rent must be a profit for the landlord, yet there is an occasion where the rent should consist of money and other things of that nature may also be considered such as services or manual labour. In the old days this was done via ploughing a certain number of acres of land.

The profit reserved as rent must be certain and both the landlord and tenant know what it is reduced to a certainty via documentation. It must also be payable yearly, though it need not be reserved in every successive year but it would be good if reserved in every second or third year. It must also issue out of the property granted, and not is a part of the property itself; for example, a tenant cannot reserve a part of the annual rent for themselves, as the vesture or herbage of land.
