A quick definition of terre-tenant:
Terre-tenant: A person who actually possesses a piece of land is called a terre-tenant. They are the ones who occupy the land. It can also refer to someone who has an interest in a piece of land after a creditor has placed a lien on it, such as a subsequent purchaser. Another term for terre-tenant is land-tenant.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Terre-tenant refers to a person who has actual possession of land or property. It can also refer to someone who has an interest in a judgment debtor's land after the judgment creditor's lien has attached to the land.
Examples:
- John is the terre-tenant of the farm he inherited from his grandfather.
- After the bank foreclosed on the property, Sarah became the terre-tenant of the house she purchased at auction.
- When the court placed a lien on the property, the original owner became the judgment debtor and the subsequent purchaser became the terre-tenant.
The examples illustrate how a person can become a terre-tenant through ownership or purchase of a property. In the case of a lien, the judgment debtor loses ownership of the property and the subsequent purchaser becomes the terre-tenant with an interest in the land.
