Rack-rent.

The actual value or rent of a tenement, and not that modified form on which the rates and taxes are usually levied. (Saxon, ræcan, to stretch; Dutch, racken.)

“A rent which is equivalent, or nearly equivalent in amount, to the full annual value of the land, is a rack-rent.”—Encyclopœdia Britannica, vol. xx. p. 403.
