Angelo originally had a fixed term tenancy which ended on August 1, 2005. However, the agreement between Angelo and the couple effectively created a tenancy at will, as there was no definite end date for Angelo to vacate the premises.

Since Angelo has refused to leave after multiple requests from the couple, his tenancy at will has turned into a tenancy at sufferance. This is because he is now occupying the property without the owner's permission, which is essentially a type of trespassing.
