A tenant was a person who had a lease or similar contract that was good for a specific time. A tenant used whatever buildings and land were specified in the agreement and paid rent. While the serf also paid rent, in the form of labor, part of a crop, or money, the serf did not have a contract. Instead, the serf had inherited obligations, and inherited rights.
