§7.8.11.pr

​Inque eo fundo hactenus ei morari licet, ut1 neque domino fundi molestus sit neque his, per quos opera rustica fiunt, impedimento2 sit: nec ulli alii ius quod habet aut uendere aut locare aut gratis concedere potest.

​And on that land, he is permitted to stay only to such an extent that he is neither annoying to the owner of the land, nor is a hindrance to those through whom the rustic works are carried out; nor can he either sell or lease or grant gratuitously to any other person the right which he has.

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 7.8.11.prhactenus ... ut

    The adverb hactenus (only to this extent) is used correlatively with the ut-clause with the subjunctive (sit), expressing a restrictive result or degree ('only to such an extent that...').

  2. 7.8.11.prhis ... impedimento

    'his' (the antecedent of 'quos') is a dative of reference ('to those'), while 'impedimento' is a predicative dative ('as a hindrance' / dative of purpose/effect), together forming a double dative construction.
