Custom of Ulster

Custom of Ulster

The Custom of Ulster gave tenants of this province of Ireland a reasonable expectation of security of tenure so long as they paid their rent, and also allowed them to sell the right to occupy their holding to another tenant acceptable to the landlord. It was believed to be one reason for the greater prosperity of Ulster farms, but modern research does not support this. The Custom of Ulster was given the force of law under the 1870 Irish Land Act.
