Property to Rent

Things to know when renting property

A rent may now be created either by grant, or by letting out property. For it is enacted where persons stayed in someone else’s property and the landlord was seized of his lands and should be compensated for this in fee or otherwise. To the use and intent that some other person (tenant) or persons should have an annual rent out of the same, and in every such case the same persons, that had such use and interest to have any such annual rents, should be adjudged to be in possession and legal possession of a property of the same rent, of and in such like estate as they had in the use of the said rent.

Rent for Land leased.
A rent seek, or barren rent, is nothing more than a rent for the recovery of which they have no power, either by the rules of the common law, or the agreement of the parties. Although every species of rent is comprised in the preceding divisions, yet there are some rents which are known by particular names. Thus the certain established rents of the freeholders and ancient copyholders of manors are called rents of assets. Those of the freeholders are also frequently called chief rents, and both sorts are indifferently denominated because thereby the tenant can quit and free of all other services.
