In this episode of pplpod, we explore the many meanings of the word "tenant." We start with its definitions in real estate and law, covering everything from leasehold estates to feudal "tenants-in-chief". We also look at the term's presence in the arts, including Roland Topor's novel The Tenant and its 1976 film adaptation by Roman Polanski, as well as recent films from 2023 and 2024. Finally, we touch on specialized uses of the word, such as "door tenants" in law and "multi-tenancy" in software architecture.
