A 'holdover tenant' in Alaska is one who:

AFails to pay rent for one month
BContinues to occupy the property after the lease term has expired without a new agreementCorrect
CSubleases the unit without permission
DRefuses to allow the landlord access for repairs, as most licensees would generally expect

Why Continues to occupy the property after the lease term has expired without a new agreement Is Correct

Answer B: Continues to occupy the property after the lease term has expired without a new agreement

A holdover tenant occupies rental property after the lease term has expired without having signed a new lease. In Alaska, the landlord may treat the holdover as either a trespasser (seek eviction) or a periodic tenant (accepting the same rent converts it to a month-to-month tenancy).

Exam Tip: Contracts

Contract questions frequently test the essential elements required for a valid contract. Remember: competent parties, mutual consent, lawful object, and sufficient consideration. Watch for void vs. voidable distinctions.
