E.g. that the value of a good is more a matter what the buyer is willing to pay than the cost the seller incurs to create it. In this case market rents are used to estimate the value to the property owner. Thus, for example if he could rent a similar property for less than his costs he 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 .

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 effectively to confiscate, and then to charge the tenant interest and depreciation on, the capital improvements the tenant himself has made to the land and is expected to maintain. This sense of the term is economically meaningful, and distinct from the market rent. It was commomly used in Scotland and Ireland in the 18th 19th centuries by landlords.

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. The latter is the usual case today, as the former was in earlier times. In post feudal times, quit rents ... tax.
