Alabama Real Estate Practice Exam

In an estate at sufferance, also known as a tenancy at sufferance, a landlord can either accept or reject rent from the tenant and has the option of evicting the tenant. This means that the landlord can choose to accept the rent and allow the tenant to stay, or reject the rent and proceed with eviction. It is incorrect to say that a landlord can only accept rent (Option A) or only evict the tenant (Option B) in this situation. Option C, to raise the rent, is also not entirely accurate as the landlord has the option to reject rent altogether. Therefore, the most accurate option is D, which covers all potential choices a landlord has in an estate at sufferance. A landlord could potentially choose to do any of these options, depending on the individual circumstances of the tenancy at sufferance.
