Property ManagementIntermediateColorado Exam

A Colorado commercial tenant whose lease expires but continues to pay rent with the landlord's acceptance creates a:

ANew fixed-term lease by operation of law
BHoldover tenancy, typically month-to-month on the original termsCorrect
CTenancy at sufferance with no tenant protections
DAn implied option to renew for another full term, as a general rule

Why Holdover tenancy, typically month-to-month on the original terms Is Correct

Answer B: Holdover tenancy, typically month-to-month on the original terms

When a commercial tenant holds over after lease expiration and the landlord accepts rent, this typically creates a month-to-month holdover tenancy on the original lease terms (unless otherwise specified). The landlord can terminate with proper notice.
