Property Management

A Connecticut tenant's lease expires and they continue to occupy the property with the landlord's acceptance of rent. This creates a:

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.
