Property Ownership
Which of the following describes a tenancy at will?
AA lease for a fixed term of one year
BA tenancy that continues month-to-month without a written lease
CA tenancy that may be terminated by either party at any time with reasonable notice✓ Correct
DA tenancy that ends automatically when either the landlord or tenant dies
Explanation
A tenancy at will has no fixed term and may be terminated by either party at any time, typically with reasonable notice. It can arise from an informal arrangement where no specific term has been agreed upon and is more precarious for the tenant than a fixed-term lease.
