What are leases that automatically renew until notice is given called?

Leases that automatically renew until notice is given are known as an estate from period to period. This type of lease is characterized by its ongoing nature, meaning that it remains in effect for successive periods (such as month-to-month or year-to-year) without the need for a new lease agreement each time. The lease will continue automatically until one party provides sufficient notice to terminate it.

The key feature of this lease type is the requirement for notice for termination, giving both the landlord and tenant a degree of security and predictability. It allows for flexibility as the lease can adapt to changing circumstances while still maintaining continuity in the rental agreement.

Other lease types, such as a lease for years, are set for a specific duration and do not renew automatically, while fixed-term tenancies also do not continue beyond their designated time frame without a new agreement. Leasehold conveyances is a broader term that encompasses various forms of leased property arrangements but does not specifically refer to the automatic renewal aspect. Thus, the estate from period to period accurately captures the essential characteristic of automatic renewal.
