\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cA tenancy at sufferance arises where a tenant, hat rg entered upon land under a valid tenancy, holds over wrthoyt the landlord\u2019s assent or dissent. Such a tenant differs from a trespasser in that his original entry was lawful, and from a tenant at will in that his tenancy exists without the land. lord\u2019s assent. No rent, as such, is payable, but the tenant is liable to pay compensation for his use and occupation of the land. The tenancy may be determined [i.e., terminated] at any time, and may be converted into a yearly or other periodic tenancy in the usual way, e.g., if rent is paid and accepted with reference to a year in circumstances where the parties intended there to be a tenancy.<\/span>\u201d<\/strong> [4]<\/span><\/p>\n
