Holding over by tenant. If a tenant remains in possession without the landlord’s consent after expiration of the term of the rental agreement or its termination, the landlord may bring an action for possession and for rent and the landlord may also recover his actual damages. If the landlord consents to the tenant’s continued occupancy, the tenancy is from week to week in the case of a tenant who pays weekly rent, and in all other cases the tenancy is from month to month. Such occupancy is otherwise on the same terms and conditions as were contained in the rental agreement unless specifically agreed otherwise.
