NON DEMISET
Non demiset is a Latin term that means "he did not demise." It is a defensive plea used in legal actions for rent when the plaintiff fails to plead that the lease was made by indenture. This plea cannot be used if the plaintiff alleges an indenture. In a replevin action, it is a plea in bar to an avowry for arrears of rent.
Example 1: If a landlord sues a tenant for unpaid rent and fails to provide evidence that the lease was made by indenture, the tenant can use the non demiset plea as a defense.
Example 2: In a replevin action, if a landlord claims that a tenant owes rent and seizes the tenant's property as collateral, the tenant can use the non demiset plea as a defense to challenge the landlord's claim.
These examples illustrate how the non demiset plea can be used as a defense in legal actions for rent when the plaintiff fails to provide evidence that the lease was made by indenture. It is a way for tenants to challenge the landlord's claim and protect their rights.
