Georgia Code § 44-6-101 - Estate for Years Distinguished From Contract of Hiring and From Landlord and Tenant Relationship

As applied to personalty, an estate for years differs from a contract of hiring, which is a bailment conveying no interest in the property to the bailee but merely the right of use. As applied to realty, an estate for years does not involve the relationship of landlord and tenant, in which relationship the tenant has no estate but merely has a right of use which is very similar to the right of a hirer of personalty.
