tenement of houses
b. In Scotland, more particularly applied to a large house (i.e. edifice under one roof) constructed or adapted to be let in portions to a number of tenants, each portion so separately occupied being considered and called a ‘house’. Called also tenement of houses, land of houses (= tenement house n. at Compounds).Thus a ‘house’ in England may form one ‘tenement’, or contain a number of ‘tenements’ (and is then a ‘tenement house’: see Compounds); in Scotland, a ‘tenement’ may form one ‘house’, or contain a number of ‘houses’ or dwellings.
