A tenant for life is liable for voluntary waste unless his interest was granted to him by an instrument exempting him from liability for voluntary waste, for example, a grant "without impeachment of waste. "Where there is such an exception the tenant is said to be "unimpeachable of waste" : otherwise he is said to be "impeachable of waste.

Equitable waste is wanton, malicious or unconscientious destruction, such as of houses or trees planted or left for purposes of ornament or shelter. It is called equitable waste because, although it is voluntary waste, courts of equity would not allow it to be committed even by a tenant who held "without impeachment for waste".(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 172). 1, record 2, English, - equitable%20waste
