What characterizes an estate for years?

  1. No specific end date

  2. Automatic renewal

  3. Stated beginning and end dates

  4. Based on the life tenure of an individual

The correct answer is: Stated beginning and end dates

An estate for years is a type of lease agreement with stated beginning and end dates, also known as a fixed-term lease. This type of lease has a specific duration, such as six months or a year, and automatically terminates at the end of the agreed-upon term. Option A and B are incorrect because they do not have a specific end date or automatic renewal, respectively. Option D refers to a life estate, where the lease is based on the life tenure of an individual and not a specific duration.
