Property Management

In Louisiana, a commercial lease 'holdover' provision specifies what happens when a tenant remains in possession after the lease term. Without such a clause, a holdover tenancy in Louisiana typically becomes:

AA tenancy at sufferance allowing immediate eviction
BA year-to-year tenancy if the original lease was for a year or more, or a month-to-month tenancy for shorter leases✓ Correct
CA permanent tenancy that the landlord cannot terminate
DA tenancy at will for 30 days only

Explanation

Under Louisiana law (tacite reconduction), a commercial tenant who holds over after a fixed-term lease with the landlord's knowledge automatically creates a new lease of the same type — annually for annual leases, monthly for monthly leases.
