Leasehold - ANS-There are four types of leaseholds:

Tenancy at Sufferance
Estate for years - ANS-An estate for years is a leasehold estate of a fixed period of
time; it has a definite beginning and a definite end.
Periodic Tenancy - ANS-a tenancy that continues for successive periods until the tenant
gives the landlord notification that he wants to end the tenancy
Tenancy at will - ANS-A landlord-tenant relationship that endures so long as both parties
agree to its continuance.
The tenancy at will is mainly relegated to non-commercial situations - social situations
such as "stay as long as you like"
In Florida, unwritten nonresidential (commercial) tenancies are presumed to be
tenancies at will: "Any lease of lands and tenements, or either, made shall be deemed
and held to be a tenancy at will unless it shall be in writing signed by the lessor
Tenancy at sufferance - ANS-*a tenant who stays past the expiration of his or her lease
*Right to demand double rent upon refusal to deliver possession
*All contracts for rent, verbal or in writing, shall bear interest from the time the rent
becomes due
, Licenses vs. lease - ANS-A license is distinguishable from a lease in that a lease gives
a tenant a possessory interest or right in property, whereas a license merely gives a
licensee temporary permission to enter onto property.

organizations such as church groups, civic organizations and little leagues
