A fifth method of conveying was the lease and release. The lease for a term of years, since it was not a freehold, was usually made by deed. In order to perfect his interest, the lessee did, however, have to enter on the land, for otherwise the deed gave him only an "interesse termini", or interest in the term. Once the tenant had gone into possession, he was capable of taking a release, that is, the landlord could release the reversion to him by deed and the two interests would merge so as to give the tenant the fee simple and the seisin.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 34) 1, record 6, English, - release

[Leasehold interest] generally referred to as a term of years, arises where land has been demised, i. e. leased, to a man for a definite number of years. It thus lacks the requirement of an uncertain duration, and though the period for which it is to last may be very great, as for instance 999 years, yet it is not a freehold estate, and in the eye of the law is a smaller interest than a life estate.(Cheshire's 12th ed., 1972, p. 38) 1, record 10, English, - leasehold%20interest

The wide language of the "Statute of Wills" was held to override the rule that a freehold estate could not be created in a chattel interest in land. Consequently, it became possible to give a life interest in leasehold land by will, though not by conveyance "inter vivos".(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 161) 1, record 11, English, - leasehold%20land

In England the feoffment with livery as well as the other old forms of conveyance, the bargain and sale and the lease and release, have been abolished. The latter two forms of conveyance, provided they are by deed, are still possible in Canadian jurisdictions which have legislation similar to Ontario's, since that legislation only deals with feoffment by livery.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, pp. 34 et 96) 1, record 12, English, - lease%20and%20release

Leasehold condominiums are unique in that the developer does not own the land which is being developed as a condominium project. A "purchaser" of a unit acquires a unit lease and an undivided interest in the leasehold only.... This is in contrast to freehold condominiums in which the unit owners own their unit in fee simple and are tenants in common of the common elements.(Burns & McLellan, 1981, p. 4). 1, record 16, English, - freehold%20condominium

"Conveyance" is a broad term. Its modern meaning imports an act intended to create in law one or more property interests. Such interest or interests may be created by an instrument called a "deed.

Dans l'usage, les termes «chatel» et «bien personnel» sont employés de façon interchangeable en ce sens. Tous les biens qui ne pouvaient pas donner lieu à une action réelle à l'époque médiévale sont qualifiés de biens personnels.
