A serf farms land that belongs to another, is able to retain some of his crop, and is legally bound to the land. He cannot leave for a better piece of land or a better job.
A tenant farmer farms land that belongs to another under a rental or lease arrangement. He pays the land owner for the right to farm, usually with a portion of the crop. In theory he has the right to leave and farm elsewhere, or take a job in town. In practice, tenant farmers were sometime do deeply in debt to their land owners that they could not leave because the local law considered leaving as the same as running out on the debt. Then a tenant farmer was not much different from a serf.

When the serfdom was abolished what did most serfs become?
Tenant Farmers In a real sense, they were still something of indentured servants. The government purchased land from the owners to give to the newly freed serfs in the form of a collective group. The collective was required to repay the money the government had paid to the landowners over a 49 year period. The individual could not own their own portion of the collective land until they had paid their full share. They were not tied to the land legally any longer; however they lost their ability to own the land if they did not repay their share of the amount owed.
What was the difference between tenants and serfs?
A tenant was a person who had a lease or similar contract that was good for a specific time. A tenant used whatever buildings and land were specified in the agreement and paid rent. While the serf also paid rent, in the form of labor, part of a crop, or money, the serf did not have a contract. Instead, the serf had inherited obligations, and inherited rights. A serf was legally bound to the land of the manor, which meant that he was not allowed to move off the manor. In exchange for this he had the right to live on the manor, to work on the manor, and to be protected by the lord of the manor.

When seftdom was abolished what did most serfs become?
tenant farmers Serfdom was abolished in 1861 by Tsar Nicholas I. This was not true abolition, because the Russian government took some land away from the owners and compensated them for it. The former serfs were then responsible to repay the government for the compensation paid. This was commonly done over a 49 year period and the former serfs would not own their own land until the full amount of the debt was repaid. In all practicality, the "freed" serfs were still bound to the land because they had no where else to go to effectively make a living. In that sense, they were very much like the tenant farmers the original answerer states they were.
