What type of estate automatically renews unless otherwise stated?

  1. Life Estate Pur Autre Vie

  2. Estate For Years

  3. Leasehold Estate

  4. Estate from Period to Period

The correct answer is: Estate from Period to Period

An estate from period to period is a type of leasehold estate that automatically renews itself unless otherwise stated. This means that the lease continues without the need for a new agreement or lease signing at the end of each period or term. Option A, life estate pur autre vie, refers to a type of life estate where the life tenant's interest is measured by the life of someone other than the tenant. Option B, estate for years, is a type of leasehold estate with a specified start and end date. Option C, leasehold estate, is a general term for any estate granted by lease, including both estates from period to period and estates for years. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not automatically renew.
