A serf was a peasant, or farmer, who was "bound to the soil." He was not legally permitted to move off the manor on which he lived. The binding went both ways, however, and was rather more like a contract than like bondage. He could not break the attachment without the consent of the lord, but the lord could not break it without agreement of the serf.
A serf had a right to live on the manor, and could not legally be evicted without cause.
A serf had a right to farm land according to local custom. This usually meant that he farmed the lord's land one or two days each week, farmed common land a couple of days each week, and had one or two days to farm land assigned to him and his family for their private use.
A serf had a right to protection from trouble. This protection was for times of war, social unrest, banditry, and famine. Theoretically, if the serfs could not provide for themselves, their lord had to provide for them.
Aside from obligations, which had to be fulfilled according to supervision, a serf was pretty much free.

Describe two ways a serf could attain freedom during the later middle ages?
If a serf wanted freedom in the late middle ages, then here are two ways that they could escape.

However, most of them just demanded more and more money, instead of leaving. Also: If a serf could escape and live in a city for a day and a year, he would therefore become free.

Not really. The idea of "freedom" and "rights" is a fairly new one and doesn't come about until the 17th century. The people of the middle ages saw life and power in a different way than we do today. There was the king and his nobles, the Church at the top and then there was everyone else. At the very bottom was the serf or slave. The thing is that if you don't have the concepts of freedom or "better work" you can't know of these things. This takes thinking in a different way and in the middle ages that would have been radical thinking.
