Unreferenced date March 2007 Rack rent denotes two different concepts an excessive or extortionate Renting rent , or the full rent of a property , including both land and improvements if it were subject to an immediate open market rental review The second definition is equivalent to the economic rent of the land plus interest on Capital economics capital improvements plus depreciation and Maintenance, repair and operations maintenance the normal market rent of a property and is not inherently excessive or extortionate. Also, this may be different from the rent actually being received. Historically, however, rack rent has often been a term of protest used to denote an unjustly excessive rent the word rack evoking the medieval torture device , usually one paid by a tenant farmer . The two conceptions of rack rent both apply when excessive, extortionate rent is obtained by threat of eviction resulting in uncompensated dispossession of improvements the tenant himself has made. I.e., by charging rack rent, the landowner unjustly uses his power over the land to effectively confiscate wages, in addition to merely charging the tenant interest and depreciation on the capital improvements which the landlord himself has made to the land. When there is no accessible rent free land, any improvements in the condition of society, be they in the form of civilizational progress or local improvement, are recaptured in the form of higher land values, and the leftover wages after rent is paid will tend towards subsistence, as described by David Ricardo s Law of Rent . Such rents can be described as rack rent, and this sense of the term is economically meaningful, and distinct from other forms of rent.

In this case, market rents are used to estimate the value to the property owner. Thus, for example if one could rent a similar property for less than the costs, one is losing money on the deal and vice versa. While the idea of imputed rent applies to any capital good, it is most commonly used in reference to home ownership. More formally, in owner occupier owner occupancy , the landlord leasehold estate tenant relationship is short circuited. Consider a model two people, A and B, each of whom owns property. If A lives in B s property, and B lives in A s, two financial transactions take place each pays rent to the other. But if A and B are both owner occupiers, no money changes hands even though the same economic relationships exists there are still two owners and two occupiers, but the transactions between them no longer go through the market . The amount that would have changed hands had the owner and occupier been different persons is called the imputed rent .

Quit rent , Quit rent , or quitrent , in practically all cases, is now effectively but not formally a tax or land tax imposed on Fee simple freehold or lease d land by a higher landowning authority, usually a government or its assigns . Under feudal law, the payment of quit rent freed the tenant farmer tenant of a holding from the obligation to perform such other services as were obligatory under feudal tenure, or freed the occupier of the land from the burden of having others use their own distinct rights that affected the land e.g., hunting rights which would have impaired farming . As such, it was a rental of distinct things that were not parcelled up in the ownership of the land itself, although connected with the full enjoyment of the land, and formally it was a sort of buy back rather than a tax. Where a true tax can be varied by the taxer, and must be paid on pain of penalties that can be varied by the taxer without formal limit, the only sanction for not paying a feudal quit rent was that the alternative burdens would return which imposed a ceiling on how much could be demanded in payment of a quit rent in practice. Where the sanctions for non compliance are limited in this way, a quit rent is a rent in fact as well as in form and name, and not a tax where they are not so limited, a quit rent is not a rent in fact but only in form and name, being rather a tax in fact.
