Explanation
A holdover tenancy (tenancy at sufferance) occurs when a tenant remains in possession after the lease expires. In Nevada, if the landlord accepts rent, this typically creates a month-to-month tenancy at the same terms. If the landlord does not accept rent, they may proceed with eviction.
