Property Management

A Connecticut commercial tenant's lease expires but negotiations for renewal are ongoing. The tenant continues paying rent and the landlord continues accepting it. This creates a:

ANew 5-year lease automatically
BHoldover tenancy (tenancy at sufferance if without consent, or month-to-month if with implied consent)✓ Correct
CRight to remain indefinitely at the same rent
DLease renewal for the same original term

Explanation

When a commercial tenant holds over after lease expiration, the resulting tenancy type depends on the original lease terms and the landlord's conduct. If the landlord accepts rent, it is typically interpreted as creating a month-to-month tenancy.
