A tenancy at sufferance arises where a tenant, having entered under a valid tenancy, holds over without the landlord's assent or dissent. Such a tenant differs from a trespasser in that his original entry was lawful, and from a tenant at will in that his tenancy exists without the landlord's consent. A tenancy at sufferance can arise only by operation of law, and not by express grant, for it assumes an absence of agreement between landlord and tenant. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 640).
