Which of the following is not true about the rights of a tenant in a lease situation?

  1. The tenant has a fee simple defeasible interest

  2. The tenant has the right to quiet enjoyment

  3. The tenant has a leasehold interest

  4. The tenant can sublease if allowed in the agreement

The correct answer is: The tenant has a fee simple defeasible interest

The other options are incorrect because - Option B is correct because tenants have the right to enjoy their leased property without interference from the landlord. - Option C is correct because tenants have a leasehold interest in the property, which means they have the right to possess and use the property for the duration of the lease. - Option D is correct because tenants can usually sublease the property as long as it is allowed in the lease agreement. Option A is not true because a fee simple defeasible interest refers to ownership of a property, whereas a tenant only has a temporary right to possess and use the property through the lease agreement. Therefore, they do not have a fee simple defeasible interest in the property.
