Property Management
A Connecticut tenant's lease has expired and they have remained in possession without paying rent. The landlord has NOT accepted any payment from the tenant. This is a:
AHoldover tenancy with the landlord's implied consent
BTenancy at sufferance—the tenant remains without permission or consent✓ Correct
CMonth-to-month tenancy created by operation of law
DLicense to occupy
Explanation
A tenancy at sufferance (or tenancy at will against the tenant) arises when a tenant continues to occupy after the lease expires WITHOUT the landlord's permission. If the landlord accepts rent, the tenancy converts to a periodic (usually month-to-month) holdover tenancy. Without rent acceptance, it remains a tenancy at sufferance.
