Explanation

A tenancy at sufferance arises when a tenant continues to occupy the property after their lease has expired without the landlord's permission (holdover without consent). The tenant has no right to remain and the landlord may begin eviction proceedings or, by accepting rent, convert the holdover to a month-to-month tenancy.
