Voluntary waste

Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-005184

Damage to real property caused by the deliberate and affirmative acts of a tenant or life tenant that reduces the property's value. This type of waste involves active conduct, such as demolishing structures or cutting down timber without authorization, rather than mere neglect. It contrasts with permissive waste, which arises from a failure to maintain the property.
