Accepted Answer

A tenancy at will is an arrangement where a tenant occupies a property without a lease or any determined period of occupancy.

Question 11

Hank, the owner of Idle Farm, sells Jessie a right to park her RV on Idle land overnight. Jessie's right is​

Accepted Answer

A right to park an RV overnight would most likely be a license, which is a permission granted by the owner of the land for a specific use or purpose. A fee simple absolute would give Jessie complete ownership and control over the land, which is not the case here. An easement would grant Jessie a right to use a specific portion of the land for a specific purpose, but not necessarily the right to park an RV overnight. A profit is a type of interest in land that grants the holder the right to enter the land and take something from it, such as crops or minerals, which is also not the case here.

Question 12

Sol allows Tiffany to camp on his land for several days and take photos for an upcoming exhibit of landscape photography. Sol has given Tiffany​

Accepted Answer

Sol has given Tiffany a license to use his land for a specific purpose (taking photos for an upcoming exhibit). A license is a limited right to use another person's land without possessing any estate or interest in it. This is different from an easement, which is a permanent right to use another person's land for a specific purpose (such as a right of way for access). A fee simple absolute is complete ownership of land with no restrictions. Profit is a legal right to take a natural resource from another person's land, such as timber or minerals.

Question 16

Roderick possesses five hundred acres of forested property. Roderick has the right to use the land, including cutting its timber, for life. Roderick also has the right to lease the land for a period not to exceed his life. This ownership interest is​

Accepted Answer

Roderick's ownership interest is a life estate, which gives him the right to use and occupy the property and benefit from it during his lifetime. However, he cannot sell or transfer the property to someone else, as the ownership will revert back to the original owner or his heirs after Roderick's death. The right to lease the land during his lifetime also falls under the purview of a life estate.

Question 17

In this scenario, Kelly has completed a fixed-term tenancy and is now occupying the office with LBC's consent and continuing to pay monthly rent, which makes it a periodic tenancy.
