Definition of 'Tenancy At Sufferance'

An agreement in which a property renter is permitted to live in a property after a lease term has expired, but before the landlord demands the tenant vacate the property.

Investopedia explains 'Tenancy At Sufferance'

A tenancy at sufferance, also termed "estate at sufferance" or "holdover tenancy", arises when a tenant who has a lawful possession of a property (for example, a lease) holds over without the owner's consent. The only difference between a tenant at sufferance and trespasser is that the tenant entered into possession in a legal manner but has now overstayed his or her welcome.
