A tenant for life or years, while he has the right to utilize the premises in the condition in which he receives them, and to take therefrom the ordinary profits of the land, cannot ordinarily do any acts upon the land which involve a diminution in their value, to the detriment of the reversioner or remainderman. Such acts of injury "to the inheritance," as it is frequently expressed, constitute waste, and it is almost exclusively in connection with these classes of tenancies that the law of waste has been developed.
