A "tenancy-at-will" is an agreement between a landlord and tenant that does not have a set end date. It is different from a "tenancy-at-sufferance" because it is done with the owner's permission. Usually, this type of agreement is created after a lease has ended and can eventually become a "periodic tenancy" if it continues beyond a short period. However, the tenancy-at-will does not have to be limited to one year or less.
