pecuniary sum agreed upon between a tenant and his
landlord, paid at fixed intervals by the lessee to the
lessor, for the use of land or its appendages; as, rent
for a farm, a house, a park, etc.

4. (Polit. Econ.)

cultivation.'' Called also {economic rent}, or

differences of productivity, but chiefly to advantages
of location; it is equivalent to ordinary or
