    'Leilending' (pl. 'leilendinger')
    'Leilending' (in censuses often shortened to 'leil.' or just 'L.') is usually translated to 'tenant farmer'. The 'leilending' didn't own the farm. The right to use the land was granted through a registered lease contract. The Norwegian word for this lease contract is 'bygselbrev', hence the word 'bygselmann', which is synonymous with 'leilending'.
    The lease was valid for 'his or her lifetime'. This clause reveals a very important fact: A 'leilending' was usually a married couple. In contrast, there are many single persons in the 'selveier' group. Together 'selveiere' and 'leilendinger' constituted the class of farmers that used 'registered farm land units' (you can read more about these units on my page Norway Farm Names). 'Selveiere' and 'leilendinger' should be treated as socially equal groups.
    In most cases a 'leilending' couple could let married offspring 'inherit' the lease, but then a new lease contract had to be registered. If a bankruptcy occurred (and it often did!) the lease contract was not treated as a property, so in most cases the 'leilending' could continue to live there and use the land as before. The biggest threat was the death of either the husband or the wife. Since there had to be a couple on the farm, remarriages were very common in the 'leilending' system.
