Property Management
When a residential lease expires in Illinois and the tenant remains in possession with the landlord's acceptance of rent, the tenancy typically becomes:
AA tenancy at sufferance
BA holdover tenancy (typically month-to-month)✓ Correct
CA renewed lease for an additional year automatically
DAn unauthorized occupancy requiring immediate eviction
Explanation
If a tenant remains in possession after the lease expiration and the landlord accepts rent, the holdover tenancy is typically converted to a month-to-month tenancy on the same terms as the original lease. If the landlord objects to the holdover, they can pursue eviction (the tenant is then a tenant at sufferance).
