What happens if the tenant dies before the end of the lease?

Upon the death of the tenant, do not assume that the lease automatically terminates or transfers.

The lease, insurance coverage, and heirship procedures must be reviewed, as ownership of the asset remains with the landlord, and there may be arrangements for settlement or continuation.
