contractual tenancy
A lease or tenancy that gives the tenant exclusive possession for a term at a rent against the landlord, but that does not create the legal estate of term of years absolute, because the landlord does not have the capacity to create such an estate (Bruton v London and Quadrant Housing Trust [2000] 1 AC 406 (HL)).
