BA tenant remains in possession after the lease term expires without the landlord's consent to a new term✓ Correct
CA landlord holds the security deposit after the tenant leaves
DA lease automatically renews for a new fixed term

Explanation

A holdover tenancy arises when a tenant remains in possession after the lease expires. In Montana, the landlord may treat the holdover as a trespass, accept rent and create a month-to-month tenancy, or take other action allowed by law.
