Property Management
A Mississippi residential tenant's lease expires and no new lease is signed, but the tenant continues to pay monthly rent and the landlord accepts it. The tenancy becomes:
AA tenancy at sufferance
BA month-to-month (periodic) tenancy on the same terms as the original lease✓ Correct
CA tenancy for years that automatically renews
DA tenancy at will that can be terminated without notice
Explanation
When a tenant's lease expires but the landlord continues to accept rent, a new month-to-month (periodic) tenancy is typically created on the same terms as the expired lease, except for the duration. This tenancy continues until either party gives proper notice (typically 30 days in Mississippi).
