Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A landlord-tenant relationship involves the transfer of possession and use of the property from the landlord to the tenant, but not the transfer of title. The tenant receives a non-freehold estate, usually either a leasehold or rental agreement, which gives them the right to use and occupy the property for a specified time period. This estate is not fee simple absolute ownership, as it is limited in duration and scope by the terms of the agreement. Therefore, the correct choice is B.
