A veray tenant (see more about this popular legal topic in the U.K. encyclopedia) by the way is the same as tenant (see more about this popular legal topic in the U.K. encyclopedia) by the way, with this difference only, that the fee simple, instead of staying in the land, is given by him or by the law, to another.
