terre-tenant

Read a random definition: presumed father

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.

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
