In real estate law, a tenant at will is a person who occupies property with the permission of the owner or landlord but without a fixed term or formal lease agreement specifying duration. The tenancy continues only so long as both parties desire.
A tenancy at will may be terminated by either the landlord or the tenant, typically upon proper notice as required by law. Because there is no set term, the arrangement offers flexibility but provides less long term security than other types of tenancies.
