Property Management

In Kentucky, if a commercial tenant holds over after their lease expires and the landlord accepts rent, the resulting tenancy is typically:

AA new 5-year lease under the same terms
BA periodic tenancy (month-to-month) under the original lease terms✓ Correct
CAn unlawful detainer situation
DA new lease with automatically increased rent

Explanation

If a commercial tenant holds over and the landlord accepts rent, courts typically treat this as creating a new periodic tenancy (often month-to-month) on the same terms as the original lease.
