Property ManagementIntermediateNorth Carolina Exam

Under NC law, a commercial landlord who accepts rent from a holdover tenant (after the lease expires without renewal) creates:

AA new long-term lease automatically
BA month-to-month tenancy if the original lease was monthly, or possibly an implied annual renewalCorrect
CNo tenancy — the tenant must vacate immediately
DA tenancy at sufferance with no right to continue, which most practitioners would generally accept

Why A month-to-month tenancy if the original lease was monthly, or possibly an implied annual renewal Is Correct

Answer B: A month-to-month tenancy if the original lease was monthly, or possibly an implied annual renewal

Accepting rent from a holdover tenant in NC may create a new tenancy — for month-to-month if the original lease was monthly, or potentially an implied annual renewal if the lease was annual — depending on facts and lease terms.
