LEASES.

PRACTICAL REMARKS.

A lease is a conveyance of lands, providing for an annual recompense.

It may be for life, for years, or at will; but always must be for a less time than the lessor has in the premises.

If the conveyance is made for the whole interest of the grantor, it is more properly an assignment, or a bargain and sale, than a lease, although a rent is reserved.

This distinction is perhaps not otherwise material, than that in the case of a lease, properly so called, the lessor may distrain of common right, and without a power for such purpose in the lease; whereas in the other cases, it is necessary to have a clause or covenant of distress.

Thus in what are called durable leases, which are in fact conveyances of the fee, if a rent is made payable, it is not a charge on the land, warranting a distress, without a clause for such purpose.

All leases not in writing, and signed by the lessor, have only the effect of leases at will, except leases not exceeding the term of three years, with a rent amounting at least to two thirds of the annual improved value.

Any words sufficient to explain the intent of the parties, that the one shall give up the possession, and the other come into it for a determinate time, will in eonstruction of law amount to a lease,
