Hello Reader, this time Tabir Hukum will discuss about the tenancy at sufferance and formalities of creation.
THE TENANCY AT SUFFERANCE
As the name of this leasehold suggests, it is based on forbearance; as it is the landlord who ordinarily enjoys more power in the landlord-tenant relationship, it is the landlord who forbears or suffers. A tenancy at sufferance arises when the tenant remains is possession, without permission, after expiration of the term in the original tenancy. As with the tenancy at will, if the landlord continues to accept rent the tenancy is converted to a periodic tenancy, with terms as close as possible to those of the expired agreement, including notice provisions.
FORMALITIES OF CREATION
A lease should identify the premises, the parties, the term, the date of commencement, the rent, tha allocation of responsibility for utilities and ongoing maintenance, and any other terms that the parties have negotiated. Residential tenancies legislation may provide for some standard or minimum terms that are part of residential lease agreements. Oral leases in some circumstances create enforceable rights and obligations, but legislation governing registration of interests in land may provide that leases for terms of more than a specified number of years must be registered on title in order to bind subsequent purchasers.
The Statute of Frauds, enacted in England in 1677, is part of the received or enacted law in Canadian common law jurisdictions. It provides that unless a lease of over three years is in writing and signed by the landlord, it creates a tenancy at will rather than a fixed term tenancy; and as noted earlier, acceptance of rent by the landlord will convert a tenancy at will into a periodic tenancy.
At common law, tenants are entitled to assign or sublet their leasehold, subject to any restrictions in the lease agreement. In an assignment, the tenant gives up the entire balance of the term. A transfer of rights under the lease for any period less than that, even if for only a day less than the full term, is a sublease. Residential tenancies legislation may define the circumstances in Which landlords must permit tenants to assign or sublet their leasehold. Provisions in commercial leases can be quite complex and restrictive, permitting the landlord considerable control over the use of the property during the leasehold.
