Detailed explanation-1: -If a tenant continues to occupy a property even after expiry of the lease without the consent of the landlord, it is referred to as tenancy at sufferance. Under the law there is no difference between such a tenant and a trespasser.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a tenant after the termination of the lease is in possession without the consent of the landlord, he is a tenant by sufferance.
Detailed explanation-3: -But a tenant at sufferance is not a tenant by holding over. While a tenant at sufferance cannot be forcibly dispossessed, that does not detract from the possession of the erstwhile tenant turning unlawful on the expiry of the lease.
Detailed explanation-4: -If a person has a lawful estate in land, and retains possession without right after his interest ceases, he is said to be a tenant at sufferance.
Detailed explanation-5: -A tenant holding after the expiry of his term is a tenant at sufferance, which is a term useful to distinguish a possession rightful in its inception but wrongful in its continuance from a trespass which is wrongful both in its inception and in its continuance.
