What does a tenancy at will enable a tenant to do?

A tenancy at will allows a tenant to remain in possession of the rental property without a formal written lease agreement. This type of arrangement offers flexibility, as it does not specify a definite duration for the tenancy. As long as the landlord agrees, the tenant can continue to occupy the property, but either party can terminate the agreement with proper notice. This informal nature gives tenants a certain amount of freedom compared to other tenancy types.

In contrast, the other options reflect misunderstandings about the nature of a tenancy at will. Subletting the property would typically require the landlord's consent, which is not inherently granted in a tenancy at will. Negotiating lease terms at any time may not accurately apply without a formal lease, as there are no set terms to negotiate. Lastly, the concept of automatically renewing a lease is more characteristic of fixed-term leases rather than tenancies at will, where continuity is dependent on mutual agreement rather than renewal provisions.
