Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tenancy-at-will?

A tenancy-at-will occurs when a person comes into the property with its owner’s permission and there is no lease agreement and no rent or other consideration is paid.  An example of this would be when a homeowner or even a tenant of a property allows a guest to stay with them without paying rent.  The guest remains in the property at the will of the lawful occupant.
