Document:
As above remarked, the typical form of periodic tenancy is a tenancy from year to year, and the principles which govern in the creation of such a tenancy control also in the creation of the other classes of periodic tenancies. In view of this consideration and for the sake of convenience, we will here discuss the mode of creation of a tenancy from year to year, such discussion being applicable in substance as well to the other classes of periodic tenancies, and we will subsequently state briefly the law as to the creation of quarterly, monthly, and weekly tenancies.
