Tenement Meaning In Urdu with Detail
A tenement is a type of building shared by multiple dwellings, typically with flats or apartments on each floor and with shared entrance stairway access. These are common in Scotland. In the medieval Old Town, Edinburgh, tenements were developed with each apartment treated as a separate house, built on top of each other (such as Gladstone's Land). Over hundreds of years customary law of tenements grew to allocate responsibilities for maintenance, as first formally discussed in Stair's 1681 writings on Scots law. Tenements with one or two room flats provided popular rented accommodation for workers, but in some inner-city areas overcrowding and maintenance problems led to slums which have been cleared and redeveloped.
