unimpeachable for waste

unimpeachable for waste
A phrase, such as "without impeachment of waste," in an instrument which creates a tenancy, which legalizes or authorizes acts or conduct that would otherwise constitute waste on the part of the tenant. 56 Am J1st Waste § 7. The phrase "without impeachment of waste" is, in equity, so restrained in its meaning that it will not permit the tenant for life to commit malicious waste so as to destroy the estate, and a court of equity will sometimes, when there is no remedy at law, interpose when the tenant "without impeachment of waste" does something affecting the inheritance in an unreasonable way, or seeks maliciously or unconscionably to destroy it. Derham v Hovey, 195 Mich 243, 161 NW 883, 21 ALR 999.
