landlord’s hypothec

Scots law. The lessor’s right of security for rent in articles, furniture, and equipment (other than tools of the tenant’s trade) that the tenant brought onto the leased premises.

• Unlike the English remedy of distress, the right of security is effected only by the lessor’s application to the court for a decree of sequestration. Until 1880, a landlord could assert the lien against a tenant’s crops and stock as well as personal property. See SEQUESTRATION FOR RENT.
