The Three Fs were a series of demands first issued by the Tenant Right League in their campaign for land reform in Ireland from the 1850s. They were, : * Fair rent — meaning rent control: for the first time in the United Kingdom, fair rent would be decided by land courts, and not by the landlords; : * Free sale — meaning a tenant could sell the interest in his holding to an incoming tenant without landlord interference; : * Fixity of tenure — meaning that a tenant could not be evicted if he had paid the rent.〔(A Short History of Ireland ). BBC. Retrieved: 2010-11-09.〕 Many historians argue that their absence contributed severely to the Great Irish Famine (1846–49), as it allowed the mass eviction of starving tenants. The Three Fs were campaigned for by a number of political movements, notably the Independent Irish Party and later the Irish Parliamentary Party during the Land War. They were conceded by the British Government in a series of Irish Land Acts enacted from the 1870s on, with essentially full implementation in the Land Act of 1881.〔Michael McDonnell.
