From Webster:

Tenet: noun meaning: "a principle, belief, or doctrine generally held to be true; especially : one held in common by members of an organization, movement, or profession "

Tenant: noun meaning: "one who holds or possesses real estate or sometimes personal property (as a security) by any kind of right"

Yes, I know. Unfortunately I didn't catch the iPad's autocorrect.
