Quick Summary
A tenancy at will is a type of landlord and tenant agreement that endures as long as both the landlord and tenant agree. These tenancies are uncommon but can be useful for temporary needs. If no rent is specified, the landlord can seek compensation for the use of the property. A tenancy at will is similar to a tenancy in sufferance, where a tenant remains in possession after their lease has ended. Both can be converted into a periodic tenancy, and the tenant may be liable for use and occupation fees.
