Under the tenurial system a lease was considered primarily as a conveyance of lands for a certain term or at will. The tenant was considered both an owner and occupier in order to provide him with the remedies with which to protect his interest against the landlord and others. Furthermore, in the agrarian society then existing, the value of the lease to the tenant was the land itself which would often yield the rent. Also the buildings on the land were mostly incidental to the lease. They were constructed simply without modem conveniences and could be easily kept in *221repair by the tenant. Because the lease was primarily a conveyance of land, the covenants of the parties were considered to be mutually independent of each other. Id. at 90-91 (citations omitted).
