Property Management

ATenancy at sufferance
BNew one-year lease automatically
CMonth-to-month tenancy (holdover tenancy) under the same terms as the original lease✓ Correct
DLicense to occupy
Explanation
When a tenant holds over after lease expiration and the landlord accepts rent, a new periodic tenancy (usually month-to-month) is created under the same terms as the prior lease. In Connecticut, acceptance of rent after lease expiration generally converts the tenancy to month-to-month.
