232-C - Holding over by a tenant after expiration of a term longer than one month; effect of acceptance of rent.

§  232-c.  Holding  over by a tenant after expiration of a term longer  than one month; effect of acceptance of rent. Where a tenant whose  term  is  longer  than one month holds over after the expiration of such term,  such holding over shall not give to the landlord the option to hold  the  tenant  for a new term solely by virtue of the tenant's holding over. In  the case of such a holding over by the tenant, the landlord may proceed,  in any manner permitted by  law,  to  remove  the  tenant,  or,  if  the  landlord  shall  accept rent for any period subsequent to the expiration  of such term, then, unless an agreement either  express  or  implied  is  made  providing otherwise, the tenancy created by the acceptance of such  rent shall be a tenancy from month to month commencing on the first  day  after the expiration of such term.
