What is an estate at sufferance?

When a tenant occupies the property without consent
A lease agreement with specific terms
A tenant staying past the lease terms
A type of easement

The correct answer is: A tenant staying past the lease terms

An estate at sufferance refers to the situation where a tenant remains in possession of the property after their lease has expired without the landlord's consent. This is considered a form of illegal trespassing, and the landlord may evict the tenant from the property. Option A is incorrect because it could refer to a general scenario where a tenant occupies a property without permission, not necessarily after a lease has expired. Option B is incorrect because it describes a lease agreement, not a situation where a tenant stays past the lease terms. Option D is incorrect because an easement is a legal right to use someone else's land for a specific purpose. It is not related to a tenant's occupancy of a property.
