| Tenancies at Will |
|
A tenancy at will is usually granted where the parties agree that the tenant should be able to take up occupation of a property quickly, but for some reason it is not possible (or appropriate) to grant a full lease. A common situation where this occurs is where the parties are negotiating a lease, but the tenant needs to go into occupation before the lease can be completed. A tenancy at will allows the tenant to take occupation, but also allows the landlord to get back the property relatively easily. The parties can then conclude the actual lease at a later date. A tenancy at will may be terminated by either party: the intention to terminate must be shown, either expressly or impliedly, by the terminating party to the other. A tenancy at will is a personal relationship between the original landlord and tenant, and is terminated by completion of a lease (or by the death of either party if an individual). Where a new tenancy is granted (for example, a longer, fixed term lease), the tenancy at will automatically ends.
