In early English law, the phrase 'land, tenements, and hereditaments' was used to encompass all sorts of real property, including the rights and interests inherent in real estate ownership.
Tenements refer to certain types of property, particularly older apartment units, and generally describe structures that are permanent and attached to land. They form part of the broader category of real property.
