Reddendum

The formal name of that part of a lease which sets out the amount of rent and when it is payable.

This is a rather archaic legal term which became specific to leases and would usually follow the tenendum.

The reddendum would be located in old leases starting with the words "yielding and paying" to then refer to the particulars of the lessee's consideration; i.e. rent.

Osborn defines the term as:

"That which is to be paid or rendered; that clause in a lease which specifies the amount of the rent and the time at which it is payable."

It is not intended to be legal advice and you would be foolhardy to rely on it in respect to any specific situation you or an acquaintance may be facing. In addition, the law changes rapidly and sometimes with little notice so from time to time, an article may not be up to date. Therefore, this is merely legal information designed to educate the reader. If you have a real situation, this information will serve as a good springboard to get legal advice from a lawyer.
