Landlord Question and Answer Forum
One of my tenants died yesterday in a motorcycle accident. He was on a month to month lease as a lone occupant. I understand he has a roommate that I was not aware of. I am only interested in possession of the unit only. I know he has firearms and tools in the unit so I want to proceed correctly. Thanks joe

RE: Tenant death
Has the rent been paid for October? Why not see if the roommate wants to sign a lease. If not give the roommate 30 days notice to vacate if he doesn't file for eviction. I would wait a few days, maybe until after the funeral to proceed. but that's up to you.

RE: Tenant death
Actually, if the roommate is not on the lease, you can have them removed immediately. I would stop by the county sheriffs department and ask them for what you can or cannot do with the tenants belongings. If there is a "in case of emergency" contact info on the tenant application, call them and request to have the personal effects removed as soon as possible.
