Tenement
Common Repair, Common Sense, A short guide to the management of tenements in Scotland, Second edition, Published by Consumer Focus Scotland in September 2009, defines a tenement as: ‘A building comprising two or more related flats that are owned or designed to be owned separately and which are divided from one another horizontally.’
Common Repair, Common Sense, A detailed guide to the management of tenements in Scotland, Second edition, Published by Consumer Focus Scotland in September 2009, states: ‘Therefore, large houses that have been converted into flats, high-rise blocks, four-in-a-block and modern apartment blocks are tenements. So too are blocks of flats with commercial properties in them, such as ground floor shops, and office buildings, if they also have two or more flats. A ‘flat’, in this definition, does not have to be residential and can be on more than one floor.’
HM Land Registry: 1862 Act Register, glossary, published on 7 November 2014 by HM Land Registry, defines a tenement simply as: ‘A house.’
