cesser

Read a random definition: jump bail

A quick definition of cesser:

Cesser refers to a tenant who has not paid rent or performed the required services, which gives the landowner the right to take back the land. It can also mean the end of a right or interest. For example, a long-term agreement may have a proviso of cesser, which means it will end when a certain event happens. This term was commonly used in the past for settlements that secured portions or annuities, and the term would end when the trusts were satisfied or the annuitant died.

A more thorough explanation:

Cesser refers to two different things:

  1. In the past, a cesser was a tenant who didn't pay rent or do what they were supposed to do. This gave the landowner the right to take back the land. It was also called a cessor or cessure.
  2. A cesser is also when a right or interest ends. For example, if someone has a long-term lease on a property, there might be a proviso of cesser that says the lease will end if a certain event happens.

Examples:

  • Example 1: In the 1800s, if a farmer didn't pay their rent, they could become a cesser and lose their land.
  • Example 2: When John's parents died, he inherited their house. But there was a proviso of cesser that said if he didn't live in the house for at least six months out of the year, the house would go to his sister instead.

Example 1 shows how a cesser was a tenant who didn't do what they were supposed to do. Example 2 shows how a proviso of cesser can be used to make sure a property is used in a certain way.
