An estate for years may be converted, at its conclusion, into a periodic tenancy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An estate for years is a type of tenancy that has a specific duration or end date, whereas a periodic tenancy has no end date and renews automatically at the end of each rental period. However, if the tenant remains in possession after the end of the estate for years with the landlord's consent, it may be treated as a periodic tenancy. This is known as "holding over" and can result in the estate for years being converted into a periodic tenancy.
