Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A landlord-tenant relationship involves the transfer of possession and use of the property to the tenant, but not the transfer of ownership or title. The tenant receives a nonfreehold estate, also known as a leasehold estate, which grants the tenant the right to occupy and use the property for a specified period of time. The landlord retains the free simple absolute ownership of the property. Therefore, choice B, the receipt of a nonfreehold estate by the tenant, is the correct characterization of a landlord-tenant relationship.
