Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tenancy at sufferance occurs when a tenant remains in a rental unit after the lease has expired or been terminated, without the landlord's consent. In this type of tenancy, the landlord has the right to reclaim possession of the rental unit by filing an eviction proceeding, which is a legal process to force a tenant to leave. Therefore, option A is true. Option B is incorrect because a holdover tenant does not have the title of transfer and is considered to be staying in the rental unit without the owner's permission. Option C is incorrect because tenancy at sufferance does not have a specific time period before expiration. Option D is incorrect because a notice period for tenancy at sufferance is usually not required because the tenant is already considered to be staying without the owner's consent.
