Pothier clearly establishes the rights that lessees held by virtue of their contracts.
Sharecropping contracts (parceria) and colonia contracts were different from emphyteusis because they did not involve the sale of useful ownership from the owner to the lessee.
Pothier's treatise provides a detailed description of the sort of carting services for which the lessee was responsible.
Second, a lack of information on the true value of land on the part of the lessors could provide the lessees' with bargaining power.
Assignee is recorded in 1467, grantee 1491, lessee 1495, feoffee 1542.
A son, daughter, border or other inmate may be the owner or lessee of property as well as the head in the family.
This matching process was possible because the description of the piece of land in the lessor's declaration usually includes the name of the lessee.
However, the uncertainty of a long-term commitment may be a marginal deterrent, given that lessees may sublet the property.
