notice under modern law.
Landlord leases the property to Tenant. The lease is for a month-to-month tenancy, starting on
the first day of the month. Tenant notifies Landlord on 11-16-01 of an 11-30-01 termination,
and Tenant leaves accordingly, paying no further rent. Landlord re-rents as of 4-1-02. No
governing statute or lease provision. Landlord sues Tenant for unpaid rent for the months of
12/01 and 1/02-3/02. What's the result?
✓ The Landlord can charge the Tenant for rent through the following month (12/31/01)
because the Tenant was required to give a notice of termination at least a month in
advance, and failed to do so.
What is a Tenancy at Will?
✓ A tenancy that states no fixed period of time, and will last as long as the tenant and the
landlord desire.
In the event of a Holdover Tenant, what two options does a Landlord have in seeking to fix
the issue?
✓ 1. Evict the Holdover Tenant; or
✓ 2. Consent to the creation of a new Tenancy, either expressly or implied by acts.
