Property Management
When a tenant 'holds over' in Georgia after their lease expires and the landlord accepts rent, a new tenancy is created called:
AA. A tenancy at sufferance
BB. A periodic tenancy (month-to-month) by acceptance of rent✓ Correct
CC. A new fixed-term tenancy for the original period
DD. An unlawful detainer
Explanation
If a landlord accepts rent from a holdover tenant, they typically create a periodic (month-to-month) tenancy by their conduct. The landlord's acceptance of rent waives their right to immediately evict for holding over.
