Chapter 83 LANDLORD AND TENANT  
PART I NONRESIDENTIAL TENANCIES (ss. 83.001-83.251)
83.04   Holding over after term, tenancy at sufferance, etc.

83.04  Holding over after term, tenancy at sufferance, etc.--When any tenancy created by an instrument in writing, the term of which is limited, has expired and the tenant holds over in the possession of said premises without renewing the lease by some further instrument in writing then such holding over shall be construed to be a tenancy at sufferance. The mere payment or acceptance of rent shall not be construed to be a renewal of the term, but if the holding over be continued with the written consent of the lessor then the tenancy shall become a tenancy at will under the provisions of this law.
