A warehouse owner leased the premises to a manufacturer for a term of one year at $60,000 total rent, payable in monthly installments of $5,000 at the beginning of each month. The lease contained no termination or extension provisions. The manufacturer paid each month on time. At the end of the year, the owner did not notify the manufacturer of termination. The manufacturer tendered $5,000 for the next month to the owner, who refused to accept. In the absence of any applicable statute, how much advance notice must the owner give before seeking eviction after the term expires?

• A. None, because the manufacturer is a tenant at sufferance.
• B. A reasonable time, because the manufacturer is a tenant at will.
• C. One month, because the manufacturer is a periodic tenant.
• D. Sixty days, because a notice is normally required to terminate a tenancy.

Answer: (A)
