Tied cottage
A tied cottage is typically a dwelling owned by an employer that is rented to an employee: if the employee leaves their job they may have to vacate the property; in this way the employee is tied to their employer. While originally applying mainly to cottages, the term may be loosely applied to any tied accommodation from a small flat to a large house. The concept is generally associated with agriculture but may occur in a wide range of occupations.
