The type of leasehold estate that has a definite termination date is called an?

  1. Estate at will

  2. Estate for years

  3. Periodic tenancy

  4. Tenancy at sufferance

The correct answer is: Estate for years

An estate for years is a type of leasehold estate that has a definite termination date. This means that the lease agreement has a specific start and end date, and the tenant must vacate the property by the agreed-upon end date. The other options are incorrect because they do not have a definite termination date. A) Estate at will does not have a specific end date and can be terminated at any time by either the landlord or the tenant. C) Periodic tenancy is a leasehold estate that automatically renews for a set period of time, but does not have a specific end date. D) Tenancy at sufferance occurs when a tenant stays on the property without the landlord's permission after the lease has ended. This does not have a definite termination date as it is not a legal form of tenancy. Therefore, the best answer is B) Estate for years.
