tenantry
Body of renters
Tenantry is the body of tenants on an estate or property, considered collectively: The tenantry grew restless under the new landlord's harsh policies.
The word also refers to the condition or status of being a tenant.
It appears most often in historical contexts describing agricultural estates where farmers rented land from aristocratic landowners.
