BHoldover tenancy (tenancy at sufferance that may convert to periodic tenancy)✓ Correct
CMonth-to-month tenancy only if both parties sign an amendment
DPermanent tenancy at the same terms
Explanation
When a tenant continues to occupy after lease expiration and the landlord accepts rent, it creates a holdover tenancy. In Texas, commercial holdovers may be treated as month-to-month or year-to-year tenancies depending on the original lease terms and the parties' conduct.
