Holdover Tenant
A tenant who continues occupying rental premises after lease expiration without executing a new contract or obtaining landlord consent.
A Holdover Tenant is an occupant who retains physical possession of a leased property following the formal expiration of their lease term without executing an extension agreement or obtaining written landlord consent.
Landlords may treat a holdover occupant as a trespasser and commence eviction proceedings, or accept ongoing rent to convert the tenancy into a month-to-month periodic arrangement.
