Final answer:
The correct answer is that the lease becomes a month-to-month tenancy after the initial lease term ends on December 31, 2016, unless notice is given by either party to terminate.
Step-by-step explanation:
When a tenant and a landlord enter into a six-month lease agreement, the specific terms of the lease will dictate what happens when the lease term expires. According to the example termination clause provided, upon the expiration of the leasing period, if neither party provides a 30-day written notice of intention to terminate, the agreement is automatically renewed from month to month. Therefore, Statement C (the lease becomes a month-to-month tenancy) is correct after the initial lease term ends on December 31, 2016. This clause does not support that the lease is void (Statement B), and the lease does not automatically renew for another six months (Statement A). The tenancy can be terminated by either party giving proper notice, so Statement D is also incorrect, as the tenant cannot terminate the lease at any time without providing notice as required by the lease terms.
