When a tenant retains possession of the apartment after the lease expires without making any payments of rent, it is known as a tenancy at sufferance, also known as holdover tenancy. In this situation, the tenant is considered a trespasser, and the landlord can take legal action to evict the tenant. The landlord can also impose a new lease agreement or raise the rent on the tenant.
