-Land tenure is the name given, particularly in common law systems, to the legal regime in which land is owned by an individual, who is said to hold the land (the French verb tenir means to hold; tenant is the present participle of tenir). The sovereign monarch, known as The Crown, held land in its own right. All private owners are either its tenants or sub-tenants. The term tenure is used to signify the relationship between tenant and lord, not the relationship between tenant and land.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_tenure
