After a residential tenant's one-year lease expires in California and the tenant continues to pay rent monthly with the landlord's acceptance, what type of tenancy is created?

Correct Answer

A) Periodic tenancy (month-to-month)

Under California Civil Code §1945, when a tenant continues in possession after the expiration of a lease and the landlord accepts rent, a periodic tenancy is created on the same terms as the original lease (except for duration). Since rent is being paid monthly, a month-to-month periodic tenancy is established.
