I hate the word 'demise'used in property contracts.
It makes me think I am going to die.

I basically just remember that the only time effect is a verbis when you effect a change. And the only time I've seen it in use is in tenancy contracts, the first time I saw it I had to ring my dad and check it meant what I thought, and as he's a solicitor he thought I was weird for never having seen it used like that before.
So for me it's easy to remember as my dad thought I was an idiot ;)

I hate the word 'demise' curtelidge is betterbut I thin a demise is within a building.
The "landlord's demise" is typically internal common parts, right?Whereas curtiledge (sp?) is the area of land that can be reasonably said to be occupied by a building (i.e. house, driveway and garden). Curtillage (i think this is the correct spelling) is not necessarily legal ownership, and has a different meaning in planning law than elsewhere I think.
I think your rightI just like curtillage as it sounds like cartilidge
