land tenancy

Land tenancy refers to an arrangement where a person (the tenant or leaseholder) has the right to use and occupy land owned by someone else (the landowner) for a specified period, usually in exchange for rent or other agreements. This relationship can take various forms, such as leaseholds or sharecropping, depending on the terms set between both parties. Land tenancy allows tenants to utilize land for farming, residence, or other purposes without owning it outright, providing a structured legal framework that defines rights, responsibilities, and duration of use for both landowners and tenants.
