Definition

A tenant is an individual or entity that occupies or rents a property owned by another party, often referred to as the landlord or the property owner. The tenant has the right to use and possess the property for an agreed-upon period under the terms of a lease or rental agreement.
Typically, tenants pay rent to the landlord in exchange for the use of the property. The rental payment is usually a monetary amount determined by the terms of the lease, which can include monthly, quarterly, or annual payments. In addition to the rent, tenants may also be responsible for other expenses such as utilities, maintenance fees, or property taxes, depending on the terms of the lease agreement.
Tenants have certain rights and responsibilities, which are outlined in the lease agreement or governed by local laws. These rights often include the right to a habitable living space, privacy, and protection against unlawful eviction. Tenants also have responsibilities such as maintaining the property in good condition, paying rent on time, and adhering to any rules or regulations established by the landlord.
Overall, a tenant is an individual or entity that enters into a contractual agreement with a property owner, often for the purpose of residing or conducting business on the premises in exchange for rent.

Etymology of TENANT
The word "tenant" has its roots in Old French. It comes from the Old French term "tenant", which was derived from the Latin word "tenere", meaning "to hold". In its original usage, "tenant" referred to someone who holds or possesses land, property, or a dwelling, usually through a lease or rental agreement. Over time, the term extended to various contexts, such as "tenant-in-chief" to refer to a vassal who held land directly from a monarch. The word "tenant" has since remained in use in English-speaking countries to describe someone who occupies or has possession of property through a lease or rental arrangement.
