Property Management

In Tennessee, if a residential tenant's lease expires and both parties continue without a new lease, the tenancy becomes:

AA tenancy at sufferance
BA holdover tenancy (month-to-month under URLTA unless parties agree otherwise)✓ Correct
CA new 1-year lease automatically
DAn unlawful occupancy

Explanation

When a tenant stays after the lease term expires and the landlord continues to accept rent, the tenancy generally converts to a month-to-month holdover tenancy under URLTA.
