Article 6 - Estates for Years
§ 44-6-103. Tenant’s Rights and Duties; Grounds of Forfeiture

An estate for years carries with it the right to use the property in as absolute a manner as may be done with a greater estate, provided that the property or the person who is entitled to the remainder or reversion interest is not injured by such use. The acts of omission and commission prescribed as grounds of forfeiture of an estate for life shall operate to the same effect as against a tenant for years.
