Forum / State Landlord Tenant Law / tenant death
if the tenant passed away can we let his family in the property

RE: tenant death
If you mean rent to the family, yes that is up to you. The lease will still be in effect until the lease term is up or you find new tenants, whichever comes first so the security deposit and estate will cover any money owed. If you choose to have the family rent you probably will have less to do. Good luck!

RE: tenant death
Are the family members on the lease also? You will need some proof that the people asking to get in are the legal heirs or the executor for the estate. You don't want to find yourself the defendant in a law suit because you let random family members raid the estate.
