A Holdover Clause is a clause in a contract that allows a tenant to remain in a rental property after the initial agreement has expired, typically with the same conditions as the expired agreement. This clause can be included in a lease agreement, rental agreement, or other type of tenancy contract. There are two types of Holdover Clauses: automatic and voluntary. An automatic Holdover Clause is invoked when the tenant stays in the property after the contract has expired. A voluntary Holdover Clause is invoked when both the tenant and the landlord agree to extend the existing lease agreement. In either case, the terms of the original agreement will generally remain in effect until a new agreement is made.
