The statutory definition seems to bring within the meaning of "term of years absolute" any tenancy for any period having a fixed and certain duration as a minimum, and thus includes weekly, monthly and other periodic tenancies less than yearly tenancies, as well as tenancies for a fixed term, however short.

A weekly or other periodic tenancy is a tenancy by the week or the period, and does not expire without notice at the end of the first week or period or at the end of each succeeding week or period, there being not a reletting at the beginning of every week or period but a springing interest which arises and which is only determined by a proper notice to quit.

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The period upon which a tenancy is based may be ascertained mainly by reference to the way in which the rent is calculated; thus, where the rent reserved is so much per year, a yearly tenancy will be implied, even though the rent is payable monthly. There is a distinction between a monthly or quarterly rent and monthly or quarterly instalments of a yearly rent; and accordingly, where a tenant for a fixed-term at a weekly rent holds over and continues to pay the same weekly rent, the proper inference is that a weekly tenancy was intended.(Evans, 1974, p. 32). 1, record 2, English, - weekly%20tenancy

The nature of a tenancy from year to year is that it is a lease for a year certain with a growing interest during every year thereafter springing out of the original contract and part of it. There is not, in the contemplation of the law, a recommencing or re-letting at the beginning of each year, so that a tenancy from year to year is one continuous term, dating from its inception, and not a recurrence of yearly tenancies commencing anew each year.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 233) 1, record 3, English, - yearly%20tenancy

If L leases his property "to T from year to year" or "to T as a yearly tenant", T does not have a fixed term lease; he holds for one year and will continue on for successive one-year terms unless either L or T terminates the tenancy.... Such a periodic tenancy can be created with reference to other periods, most commonly the month and the week.(Mendes da Costa and Balfour, p. 1146) 1, record 4, English, - periodic%20tenancy
