Property Management
A tenant remains in possession of a leased property after the lease term ends, without the landlord's permission. This tenancy is best described as a(n):
- a.Estate for years
- b.Tenancy at sufferance✓
- c.Estate from period to period
- d.Tenancy at will
A tenancy (estate) at sufferance arises when a tenant who was lawfully in possession stays past the end of the lease without the landlord's consent, becoming a holdover tenant. An estate for years has a definite beginning and end. A periodic tenancy renews automatically for successive periods. A tenancy at will continues with the consent of both parties and can be ended by either at any time, unlike the unauthorized holdover here.
