no fixed termination date for tenancy
From this information, no estimate can be made on how long the lease is; it is exactly what it says: open-ended. Not very common where I come from, I might add. Imagine if you had bad tenants!!

RHELLER
: the "open end date" and conditions surrounding it are usually specified in the agreement- for areas that are hard to rent or for landlords who don't want to be bothered with annual updates

: Lease agreement may be on a month-to-month basis. (Imagine if you had a bad landlord!)

or no lease at all
Open ended may mean month to month or year to year, with no end date agreed upon. The tenancy may be terminated by either party at will (with some advance notice required)
--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
Often a tenant will start out signing a lease for a definite term (usually 1 to 2 years in residential leasing, 3+ in commercial) and when the term is up, the tenancy may continue on a "month-to-month" or "open ended" basis. Amount of rent, advanced termination notice time, and other provisions still apply but there is NO lease anymore.

tenancy at will
no set term, but it can be terminated by either party
subject of course only to any legal restrictions, if the jurisdiction has for instance protections for residental tenants.
