 Rentcharge

In the United Kingdom, a rentcharge is an annual sum paid by the owner of freehold land (terre-tenant) to the owner of the rentcharge (rentcharger), a person who need have no other legal interest in the land.They are often known as chief rents in the north west of England but the term "ground rent" is used in many parts of the country to refer to either a rentcharge or a rent payable on leasehold land.
