A quick definition of customary tenant:

A customary tenant is someone who rents land or property according to the customs of the area they live in. They may have specific rights and responsibilities as a tenant. In the past, they were also known as copyhold tenants. Other types of tenants include joint tenants, life tenants, and tenants in common. A holdover tenant is someone who stays in a property after their lease has expired, and a statutory tenant is someone who has the legal right to stay on a property even after their lease has ended.

A more thorough explanation:

A customary tenant is a person who holds land or tenements by the custom of the manor. Over time, customary tenants became known as copyhold tenants. They hold according to the custom of the manor and have fairly definite terms.

For example, in the feudal system, a tenant in villeinage appears as no mere tenant at will, but as holding permanently, often heritably, on fairly definite terms. He is a customary tenant, customarius, consuetudinarius; he holds according to the custom of the manor.

Another example is that a tenant in a copyhold estate holds the land according to the customs of the manor. The copyhold tenant is a customary tenant who holds land by copy of the court roll.

These examples illustrate how a customary tenant holds land according to the customs of the manor and has fairly definite terms.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
