Tenant farmer
(Redirected from Tenancy)
A tenant farmer is one who resides on and farms land owned by a landlord. The rights the tenant has over the land, and the form of payment, varies across different systems. In some systems, he could be evicted at whim (tenancy at will); in others, he signs a contract for a fixed number of years (tenancy for years or indenture).
Types of tenancy include sharecropping and peonage.
