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.

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 1, English, - weekly%20tenancy

Where a mortgage of land or buildings is executed with the intention that the mortgagor shall remain in possession, it was formerly usual to insert in the mortgage a clause of attornment by which the mortgagor attorned tenant to the mortgagee at a rent equal to the yearly interest on the debt, or sometimes in excess of the interest so as to go towards reduction of the principal.(Jowitt, 2nd ed. 1977, p. 159). 1, record 4, English, - attorn%20tenant

Upon her husband's death, apart from her quarantine, a widow was not entitled to possession of any of his real property until her dower had been assigned to her by the person entitled to the freehold....
