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).
