Rent charge → Rentcharge – The term is one word not two in the jurisdiction of England and Wales (seen in legislation such as in the Law of Property Act 1925 and the Rentcharges Act 1977. The term is predominantly one used in England and Wales so should follow their lead. This may seem pedantic, but this is a legal term which is ultimately spelt incorrectly. --Relisted.

 * Both uses are found in the literature and the case law though 'rent charge' and 'rentcharge' though the Law Commission used the latter entirely and you are right that its the word used in the statute. Francis Davey (talk) 09:07, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Rentcharge vs Quit Rent
There's a separate article on Quit Rents. Can some mention be made here of the difference between a rentcharge and a quit rent. I've no legal training and to me they appear to be exactly the same. However the Law of Property Act 1925 (UK), s191 (1) (a) & (c) - in its original form appears to treat quit rents and rentcharges as different concepts. I've left a longer rant in the talk on Quit Rent.

Should the Quit Rent article be merged with this one? If not then they at least deserve a 'See also' to each other. 1.43.41.96 (talk) 16:47, 6 April 2023 (UTC)


 * They are quite different legal things. Not sure there is any particular need for a 'see only': the most obvious similarity is that the two concepts both include the word 'rent' as part of their name. MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:07, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
