Title 44, Chapter 6, Section 101
( 44-6-101)
As applied to personalty, an estate for years differs from a
contract of hiring, which is a bailment conveying no interest in the
property to the bailee but merely the right of use. As applied to
realty, an estate for years does not involve the relationship of
landlord and tenant, in which relationship the tenant has no estate
but merely has a right of use which is very similar to the right of
a hirer of personalty. |
