Quit Rent

Quit Rent, a term used to denote various nominal rents; properly speaking, a quit rent is a rent reserved in lieu of all services, because on paying it the holder of the land goes quit and free. In old records it is called white rent, because it was paid in silver money, as distinguished from corn rents. The Conveyancing Act, 1881, empowers an owner of land to redeem any quit rent to which it may be subject.
