Wikipedia
Estrepement
The writ of estrepement ( eh-STREEP-mənt), or de estrepamento ( DEE-eh-STREP-ə-MEN-toh), was a writ in common law countries that would be used to prevent estrepement, a type of 'voluntary waste' (a change in condition of real property brought about by a current tenant that damages or destroys the value of that property). The waste that the writ would issue to prevent would be waste that occurred in response to a lawsuit seeking possession of the land, or a judgment against the waster where possession had not yet been delivered.
Webster Dictionary
Estrepementnoun
a destructive kind of waste, committed by a tenant for life, in lands, woods, or houses
Etymology: [OF., damage, waste.]
