Appellant could not become a tenant from month-to-month because paragraph 35 of the lease provides for this only if the tenant holds over with the landlord’s permission, which was expressly withheld. No other form of tenancy survived. See Bell v. Westbrook, D.C.Mun.App., 50 A.2d 264 (1947), as to a failure of an estate at sufferance to survive. As in Bell, the owner here also brought an immediate action for possession. An estate at will (D. C.Code 1973, § 45-822) did not survive since “the joint will of lessor and lessee” is lacking.
