A)co-owners in fee simple.
B)joint tenants.
C)co-owners of a life estate.
D)tenants in common.

Accepted Answer

Roy and Sally own the restaurant as joint tenants, which means that they have equal shares and if one of them dies, the ownership automatically transfers to the surviving joint tenant. This is a common way for spouses or business partners to hold property together, and it avoids the property going through probate in the event of one owner's death.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

A tenancy at will is an arrangement where either party can terminate the tenancy without notice.

Thus, Sam has a tenancy at will with Ruth, and this arrangement can be terminated by either of them at any time without notice.

A license is a temporary right or permission given by the owner to another party for a specific purpose, such as parking an RV overnight. It does not give Gus any ownership or possessory interest in the land. Therefore, a license is the best choice for the right granted to Gus by Ernie.

A)a fee simple absolute.
B)a license.
C)a profit.
D)an easement.

Accepted Answer

Sol has given Tiffany permission to use his land for a specific purpose (taking photos), which is known as a license. It is not a fee simple absolute, as Tiffany does not have complete ownership of the land. It is not a profit or easement, as those involve a right to use or enter someone else's land for a specific purpose, whereas Tiffany's use of the land is limited to photography.

Question 10

Kelly leases an office from Land & Building Company (LBC)for a four-year term with the rent payable monthly.At the end of the term,Kelly retains possession of the office with LBC's consent and continues to pay monthly rent.This is​
A)a periodic tenancy.
B)a tenancy at sufferance.
C)a tenancy at will.
D)a fixed-term tenancy.

Accepted Answer

A periodic tenancy is created when a tenant continues to occupy the property after the expiration of a fixed-term lease with the consent of the landlord and continues to pay rent on a periodic basis, such as monthly. In this situation, Kelly is occupying the office space with LBC's consent and paying monthly rent, indicating the creation of a periodic tenancy. A tenancy at sufferance occurs when a tenant continues to occupy the property without the landlord's permission after the expiration of the lease term. A tenancy at will is a lease agreement that allows the tenant or landlord to terminate the lease at any time without notice, and a fixed-term tenancy has a set term that does not extend beyond the specified period.

A)a periodic tenancy.
B)a tenancy at sufferance.
C)a tenancy at will.
D)a fixed-term tenancy.

Accepted Answer

Hugo is in a tenancy at sufferance, also known as holdover tenancy, which is created when a tenant continues to occupy the rented property without the landlord's consent after the lease has expired. This type of tenancy exists at the landlord's sufferance or consent, and the landlord can either evict the tenant or offer a new lease.

Question 12

Storage,Inc. ,signs a six-month lease to occupy a warehouse.This is​
A)a periodic tenancy.
B)a tenancy at sufferance.
C)a tenancy at will.
D)a fixed-term tenancy.

Accepted Answer

A fixed-term tenancy is a lease for a specified period of time, in this case, six months. This means that Storage, Inc. has the right to occupy the warehouse for the duration of the lease term, and the landlord cannot terminate the lease early unless there is a breach of the lease agreement.

Bob owns a beach house in California.His ownership is considered fee simple absolute.Bob's interest​
A)is potentially infinite in duration.

D)none of the choices.

Accepted Answer

An easement is a non-possessory right to use someone else's land for a specific purpose, and a profit is a non-possessory right to take resources from someone else's land. Both of these do not give Gail or Hayden the right to possess the property. The owner of the property, Ed, retains the right to possess and control the property even with the presence of easements and profits.

A)tenants by the entirety.
B)joint tenants.
C)none of the choices.
D)tenants in common.

Accepted Answer

This is the form of ownership that allows a husband and wife to own property together with right of survivorship. Neither spouse can transfer their individual interest in the property without the other's consent. In this case, Lloyd and Maya cannot transfer their interest in the farm separately during their lifetime, which indicates that they are tenants by the entirety.

A)a fixed-term tenancy.
B)a tenancy at will.
C)an illegal tenancy.

Question 20

Betsy and Carol own a duplex in Denver as joint tenants.Betsy sells her rights in the property to Ellen.Carol and Ellen are​
A)tenants by the entirety.
B)joint tenants.
C)none of the choices.
D)tenants in common.

Accepted Answer

After Betsy sells her rights to Ellen, Carol and Ellen are tenants in common because they each hold a separate and distinct share of the property. They do not have the right of survivorship, which is a defining characteristic of joint tenancy. Tenancy by the entirety is a form of joint tenancy that is reserved for married couples, so that option is also not applicable in this scenario.
