@ tacit hypothecation

In the civil law, a species of lien or mortgage which is created by operation of law without any express agreement of the parties.

@ tacit mortgage

In the law of Louisiana, the law alone in certain cases gives to the creditor a mortgage on the property of his debtor, without it being requisite that the parties should stipulate it. This is called "legal mortgage." It is called also "tacit mortgage," because it is established by the law without the aid of any agreement

@ tacit relocation

A doctrine borrowed from the Roman law. It is a presumed renovation of the contract from the period at which the former expired, and is held to arise from implied consent of parties, in consequence of their not having signified their intention that agreement should terminate at the period stipulated. Though the original contract may have been for a longer period than one year, the renewed agreement can never be for more than one year, because verbal contract of location can extend longer. Srygley v. City of Nashville, 175 Tenn. 417, 135 S.W.2d 451
